Actually, not a front windshield but the rear glass in my 2016 Ram.
I removed the old glass, which was very well bonded in place by urethane adhesive.
I can use a razor knife to cut off the majority of the urethane left behind on the truck body. But a thin layer stays stuck to the truck, and getting it off will take a lot of effort and most likely damage the paint underneath and cause more damage than good.
I know these windows are replaced fairly quickly by 'pros'. I also doubt they are removing all of the urethane for the reasons above. My guess is they are leaving a thin layer and just letting the new urethane bond to it.
But, I'm not sure of that. Has anyone worked in a glass shop, or have better knowledge of this?
