Windshields are fragile, but all the others are incredibly tough. I push them 
out with my feet, with someone there to catch them when they pop loose. 
Start from a corner.

You can slowly work the windshield gasket past the body lip with a wide 
screwdriver, but this is a lot of work. Some people recommend just cutting 
the gasket, but take care not to cut into the headliner, and gaskets are 
getting expensive and hard to find.
