    Do you have a sunroof? Is your windshield sealed good?

    just keep scoring it with an exacto knife or razor blade, and eventually you should be able to cut it enough that it will snap off ..
    I had to score mine quite a few times. it took me a while to , but eventually I had made enough of a groove , do this on both sides where you want to cut it.

    The next time I do one, I plan to use a hack saw and cut some small slices. Pinch slices with a vise-grips and carefully break them off by twisting back and forth.
