The only thing I can think of is pulling out the weather stripping and taking a long razor blade to slice thru the glue, then try to carefully pull/push it out.

Depends on the gasket/seal, if it's reusable it'll be obvious. There's a small nylon tool about the size of a carpenter's pencil that you can't do without to buddy the gasket in with the windshield at the end, it's indispensable. It's kind of like a shoehorn for the gasket. You will need that.

I have seen these tools in a couple of the larger parts stores, but not everybody carries them. Check with the largest parts stores in your area.

You can probably order them on the internet.
