get this windshield out?
So I'm cutting up and scrapping my 91 bronco and one thing I want to keep is the windshield. Well on older trucks you just cut the gasket and lift the windshield out but on this thing it's glued in. I cut it out of the truck so I could get it out of the way
but now I'm wondering how do I get the windshield unglued from the steel?
Suggestions? Thanks!

There is a tool for cutting it out. Harbor Frieght has it, but I don't know the quality.
The tool is a handle with a blade on the end, it also has a short legnth of cable with a tee handle on the end. You just insert the blade into the adhesive and hold the handle, pulling the tee handle along, til you're done.
Unfortunatly you're going to have a hard time holding onto the windshield now, better con your buddy into holding it, while you use the tool.

the adhesive is a urathane you might even be able to use a razor knife and just cut around it many times
