Never before heard of a glass that couldn't be taken out without breaking it if they have the education and right tools.From what I understand they have to break it to take it out.
There are special tools for removing (cutting) the urethane. It would appear there's enough of a gap to get said tool in there and cut the urethane.
My sun roof (in my car) is another matter. The sun roof frame is sealed directly to the roof, 0 gap, none at all. It would literally take repainting the entire roof and doing body work to fix the damage if I ever need to get it out, but - these have that gap between glass and roof body.
Are we running into lazy or untrained installers? Or, could Jeep really have done such a stupid thing? Naw, there's a gap in there. so you can likely get the special tools in there.
I'm guessing they are just saving time since they get new glass to put in anyway......

Took about half an hour to remove the rear glass from my 70 and that was just butyl.
