I want to replace the cracked windshield in a '98 Olds Intrigue. Someone told me that the windshields are no longer sealed into place by that black tar "rope" they used to use, but rather by some epoxy-like stuff that sets up hard, like Bondo or something -- to make it so the windshield is part of the structural strength of the roof. As such, it sounds like I can't use my old Blue Point brand windshield tool, which consists of an aluminum T-handle connected to a cable with an L-shaped blade at the end. It used to slice through that tar-like stuff nicely, but wouldn't work if they are using cement-like stuff instead. Is that indeed the case with modern windshield applications? And if so, what is used to remove them? TIA
