Please NO. The first question you want to ask your glass installer is what removal
method do they use : KNIVES or STRING. You do not want anybody using a blade
tool to remove your old glass! The pull string method is the smarter, safer way to
remove the old glass and most professional shops appear to be using it. This is
what Safelite used on my Vette and another vehicle.
Here are some tube videos I found of the string removal

That is what is used but we go one better , we do not use any power tools to drive it , ours is by hand so the technician can better control the cut

The oem glass that they used also had two plastic locating pins at the top to
ensure accurate placement of the windshield.
If you ever see a metal body car with rust around the windshield, it is
probably because the glass was removed using knives and the paint
was cut through. The damage is usually concealed under the trim, and
might not become apparent for years.
