Glued 38 windshield

[Ben38]

I’ve removed the nine screws but now I’ve discovered that the glass has been set with some sort of sealant instead of glass setting tape. Is there any hope for getting the two halves apart?

[J Franklin]

I would try some solvents to liquify the sealant, maybe acetone.

gentle heat might work also.

Take care to prevent solvents from touching your paint job.

Are you trying to save the glass? If you plan to replace the glass then you can break up the old glass and work it out of the frame a piece at a time.

No, the glass is all broken anyways

Proceed as suggested. You just don't have to break the glass, someone else did it for you already. LOL

Thanks. Great suggestion (why didn’t I think of that?).
I busted it out and was able to pry the sealant out of the groove.
