I sold a windshield out of one of my 740 parts cars to a friend of mine. He has a friend who works for one of the nationwide windshield replacement services who stopped by to remove the windshield.

He used a reciprocating saw that was equipped with miniature beaver tail like device. It was made out of thin, flexible metal, perhaps stainless.

He sat down in the passenger's seat and worked the inside edge all the way around. The cutting process took less than five minutes. We lifted it out and put it on his stand and then he spent another three or four minutes using a single edge razor blade and window cleaner on it before he placed it on the rack in the van and he thanked me and left. The entire process took less than twenty minutes much of which was spent answering my questions concerning his work.

I have removed several windshields using the thin wire between two screwdrivers acting as handles method. It was nice to have a ringside seat and watch a pro work.
