That's the way all the Pantera suppliers recommend- cut the old gasket. A new

gasket costs around $100 nowadays, I think. But you can jack around for hours

trying to unfold the old gasket from the windshield edge, especially if your

windshield didn't leak to start with. The only ones that don't leak are those

that have a pound or so of silicone rubber between the glass and the body or

gasket! The new gasket & glass go back in quite easily but you'll still

probably have to caulk the thing  to seal it. Check the metal on the bottom of

the windshield channel for corrosion, and don't be too surprised at holes

clear through the channel into the car. Now you know why your feet were

getting wet last rainstorm! J DeRyke
