Let me suggest an alternative.  Put on a good pair of boots, get in the car, 
lie down on the back seat and put both feet against one side window.  
Push with all your might and the window will pop out.  Push at one 
corner.  Have a friend outside to catch it, or do in on grass so it 
will fall where it won't break.  DON'T DO THE WINDSHIELD THIS WAY.

After you do one of these you can see how the headliner is tucked 
through the window opening and how you might have cut it with the 
razor blade.  (And just imagine how unhappy you would have been when 
you discovered how much extra work you had just made for yourself.)

I think most glass installers are pretty understanding about this.  I 
find that installing everything except windshields is a simple task 
if I just have the help of a friend.  Next time I might even try the 
windshield myself, but I'm very glad I hired someone to watch the 
first time.
