Default Windscreen Rubber seals

Hi, Happy New Year to all.
Please, I am about to do small touches on the windscreen and the back glass area which requires removal of the windscreen and the back glass.

The rubber seals are in great shape and I would like to know if there is any special way to remove them for reuse afterwards. I don't want them to break especially the small thin rubber seals inner and outer ones.
Kindly help me with the removal technique so I can reuse them

Thanks

Michael

Two of the three rubber pieces are glued into place. (BAC1977 and BBC5889). Virtually zero hope of saving them on removal.

The third could possibly be pulled away gently (BAC4794)

These pieces are not seals. They are just trim items and they do not keep water out….the good news is that these rubber items are easily available from the major suppliers.
