It was my understanding that the screen was cut out! Not a pleasant thought!
What i can't understand is why the cut has to be made past the glass againts the body work where the knife is almost certain to catch the paintwork. Surely, if the edge of the seal that overlaps the screen edge was cut first to expose the windscreen edge the screen could then be pushed out from inside the car. The remainder of the seal then pulled from the aperture. The recess cleaned (not with a knife!!) New screen and seal replaced. Hey presto!
