Hopefully, you are sequencing your project differently than your sentence...


I don't tell anyone what to do...But if were me...and I suspect anyone else that wants to save not only the windshield, but the trim, and have decided to cut the gasket:

1) Cut the gasket on the inside.
2) Carefully remove the windshield by pushing out from the inside... passengers seat...and having eight friends
on the outside to catch (not to "pry"), and one or two in the driver's seat to push.... But only when you say "push"...
3) Locate the place you previously set up to safely put the glass down.
4) put the glass down
5) Cut the gasket some more until you can pull the trim out without bending
it.
6) More gasket cutting; and less pulling on the trim.

REAL glass guys: Please correct me if I'm wrong.
