<VV> Removing a windshield

Byron,
 
There are release agents (in spray cans or with brush applicators)  that 
will soften the sealant that holds the rubber  gasket in.  3M and others make 
it and Clark's has it.  So do  paint shops and paint supply houses.  You 
will have to peel the rubber seal  back (use something non metallic like the 
nylon flat tools glass shops use) to  expose the sealant and spray the release 
agent in and work your way  around.  If you take your time you should be 
able to salvage the gasket  too.  It has been a long time since I helped 
someone do this, but I  remember that a warm day and patience worked well.
