I’ve gotten the screws out (after alot of drilling and easy out action) but am still not able to remove the windshield from the vehicle. What is the secret to getting the windshield off of the car?

When I had to remove my windshield to get the glass replaced after hail damage, I just drove the hinge pins out.

I'm a bit confused.

Do you mean windshield glass and frame off the car?
In which case, the 4 screws on the hood are the only thing fastening it to the car. Otherwise, it probably is rust and old paint holding it together

Do you mean windshield glass from the frame?
there are 4 bolts holding the upper and lower frame together.
You may need to use a piece of wood and a hammer to separate upper from lower.
