I am getting my shoebox woody ready for paint. The old rubber around the windshields is hard. Not saving the rubber or glass. What procedure do you recommend? I have the inside garnish rails off and have run a plastic wedge tool around the circumference but the glass is cracked but not coming out. What is the easiest way to pop it out? Anybody know? Thanks.
 
Take a knife or other sharp bladed instrument and cut the rubber, going around the glass seeing how your not saving anything.

Rubber is too tough to cut. Used a linoleum razor knife and still too tough to cut. I did weaken it somewhat. Broke out the drivers side with a rubber mallet. Made a big mess but got it out. Will do other side tomorrow. Thanks.
 
Ended up just busting the windows out, then removing the rubber. Big mess but works. Couldn't cut that old brittle rubber much.
