If it is factory glass, I have removed several, first off, be really careful and do not try to do it alone, the glass is old and brittle and will crack in half if you do not lift it out from both sides evenly. But as they said, very carefully remove the trim all around the glass. Then with a person on each side, reach inside the car and push the glass out with one hand and grab it on the outside with the other hand. It will lift right out without resistance as the factory sealant is now hard from age and does not seal to the glass anymore. I have removed abot 8 windsheilds from cars and if it was factory glass, it came right out. Aftermarket glass however, has fresh sealant and is stuck like glue, then you will need to do the piano wire thing to get it out. You can tell if it is factory glass, it will have a VW logo down on one corner of the glass.
