The problem is the trim. If you want to re-use the trim you'll have to be careful popping it off. Or have a source for trim parts. If you are going to use a new 91+ windshield, you probably won't be using your old trim.
Windshield removal is easy. Since you'll be re-using the windshield, you'll need to be careful. Put some cloth on the hood. Grab a few twigs. Rather then piano wire which works well, get something softer. If you have access to grass trimmer line or thick fishing line, use about a one foot length. You can use vise grips to grab the ends.
After trim removal, insert the line at a top corner through the butyl to the other side. Use a nail to form the hole. Then with your side windows down, draw the line through the butyl around the windshield. Apply a bit of pressure from the inside and jam a twig into the space created as you go along. You don't need to do the lower part, as pushing will cause the windshield to tip over onto the cloth covered hood.
For replacement get butyl tape. It's made by 3M and is listed on NAPA's web site.
Btw, the rearview mirror arm pops out of its socket by pulling down.
