Windshield and other rubber wax removers.

When I had my windshield and rear window installed, the new rubber from rick had
this waxy substance all over it.  That material is necessary to the installer,  
I
"greases" the passage of the rubber over the metal edges, and is not removed 
until
after the windows are in place.

He had a can of special remover for it that did the job very quickly, and did 
not
harm the paint or plastic rear or side windows.

I wish I had asked for the brand, but it is professional material.  I am sure 
your
local glass installer has it, and may even sell you a can.

My best advice, however, is to get a good glass man to come out to your garage 
and
install the front and/or rear windshield for you.  I found these people to be 
very
good at the job, and it does take two people (one inside pulling the rope, and 
one
outside - pushing).

Good quality people of this nature can be located from your local body shop, as
they have glass installed in their shop all the time.  They do not take the cars
down to "Glass USA".  They can give a good recommendation of the people that 
they
use that come to their shop.

That's what I did, and it worked out fine.  Even got the rear window chrome and
clips installed CORRECTLY.

Hope my experience helps.  Oh, by the way, they were cheaper than the "Glass 
USA"
fixed stores, too!
