Perhaps get a sponsorship from a windshield shop. Have them pull it and install it in your driver.

hot summer day, i soak the seal with wd-40 and start stripping the rest of the car, next hot day piano wire and razor blades. then i bought a tool from matco for 35 bucks and was more than happy to start skipping the previous steps especially in the hottest days of summer, and can now toss interior through the front window of the car out the shop!

Warm day and JB Blaster/WD-40 old kitchen knife. Better yet, get a glass shop to do it.

Good luck! Even at a glass shop, it is EXTREMELY difficult to remove and save a windshield. It can be done, but hard hard hard. Find an OLD glass guy that actually likes his job.

Always used WD-40 and the sun (or a heat gun in the winter) and the old guitar strings. Comes out in minutes pretty easily.

got a window cutting tool, and i usually push/drive the car outside and spray window cleaner were the glue is and hopefully it would be hot and start melting and then start cutting.
