Mark, I asked this same question about 5 years ago and here is the
answer I got. Hope it helps! I also remember that it helped to use
something to soften the old rubber first before attempting to cut it.

Remove the trim on the inside of the windshield that is held on by
screws
and cut away the rubber. Then remove the whole windshield and rubber
assembly to the outside of the truck. After you get it out on the
ground
you can pull the stainless trim out of the rubber groove.
