I had air & water leaking around my front windshield, the butyl was old and not adhering to the the metal frame. Easily removed the windshield, without cracking, but can't find anything to remove the old butyl other than a razor blade. Any suggestions?

Fortunately the butyl was so old, the windshield came out without any resistance. There was little butyl left in the window frame, it was all on the glass. I used a section of foam pipe insulation to cushion one side of the glass while working on the remainder and so far, no cracks. Just that the old butyl is really stuck to the glass. Thanks for the suggestions.
