Of course the first thing is remove the trim. The windshield should be held in with windshield butyl. Get a very strong wire, without insulation not as thick as "mechanics" wire. Like a piano wire type. Run it through between the glass and frame. Wrap the ends around a handle of some type. You and a helper can cut the butyl by using the wire as a knife.
Glass houses have a device that heats up and they slide it around the glass seal and it melts the seal enough to remove it. Ask a glass house how they might suggest or what they would charge to remove it for you..... |
