Trying to remember

HI, I used to do some auto glass several years ago. A friend of mine who had a glass business (did it all res. comm, plate, etc., learned from a real glazier) helped me out when I was out of work as a pipefitter. I did mostly door windows for him with a few quick and easy windshields, usually cars I was already familiar with. Right now I have a 93 Taurus and need to replace the windshield. I still have a cold knife with I think a 1" blade. I know old technology:) ... I can't remember how to do the bottom cut, it has alot of space before the pinchweld and the urethane... And, I also remember him saying that some glass is almost impossible to save intact. Is the Taurus one of these? I have a parts car with a good windshield. Thanks in advance for the help!

Bottom has a double bead. If all you are working with is a cold knife, you are in trouble. It will do nothing for you.
