Desperate for a solvent for 3M Windo weld urethane.

If you do use silicone, be sure to clean every last molecule from every surface before reassembling/sealing....by design, not much sticks to silicone.

I've never had a problem with a new, USA-made single edge razor scratching windshield glass in normal use.  Keep the blades angle down close to the glass.  Swap to a new blade often. 

Mirrors are a different story...no razors on mirror glass.

They do make plastic razor blades for cleaning decals from sensitive glass...might be a little hard to find.

Have you tried contacting 3M to get their recommendations for removal?

P.S. silicone is not just a problem for getting new adhesive to stick to the glass. It will also cause problems when painting (fisheyes). And it migrates easily - in other words, you may use it on car A, but can be transferred to car B by handling parts or incidental contact. If car B is being prepped for paint, well you've got a problem...   In the disk drive industry I formerly worked in, silicone was not allowed ANYWHERE on the production floor, because of its tendency to migrate.

Eight Barrel....I am curious as to how you made out with the urethane.  I am about to embark on installing front and rear glass on a 67 coupe.  I too saw the video that recommended the urethane between the rubber and glass and the 8509 between the body and rubber.

Anybody have any experience/recommendations for front/rear glass installation that would like to share?

Thanks in advance.
Mark

preaction:
I followed the CJ's video that used 3m strip chalk for between the glass and the gasket.
