I've got a vintage Camaro model that I'm trying to restore--one that's never been reissued. I've got everything apart except for the clear windshield/rear window piece, which has runners connecting the front and back windows. There's a huge glop of glue on one runner, just behind the windshield, that has resisted my best efforts, and I don't want to force it any more than I already have, and I don't want to break it. My best guess is that the model has been together for thirty or more years, and most likely assembled with old-style styrene cement. Anybody got any recommendations on how to get that windshield unit out? I've researched the problem on the forum and seen a few suggested solutions, but I'd like to get everybody's latest ideas. Thanks everybody.

Try wetting the areas where the clear runners are glued, and then putting the car in your freezer for a few hours. Sometimes the freezing water will either break or loosen the glue bond on that old cement.
