go to super cheap and get the proper tool, its an L shaped blade on a handle with a cord to help pull it through the urethane

bout 19 odd dollars from memory

dont try and get a screw driver under it unless it is already cracked,

if you can get a hole through the glue inside to out get a couple of pieces of wood dowel and some copper wire and make up a garrot type tool and get a mate on the inside to help pull it back and forward around the windscreen.

These tools work really well if they have decent blades, and the one I got from SC didn't :(

But if you can get someone to help you, then the garrot idea works very well. I used piano wire as it has a texture and cuts that wee bit better. Failing that, get BFH and then kick the shit out of it, (makes a bloody mess though :lol: )
