convertible windshield seal

My son needs his windshield replaced. Any posts I came across on the subject seem to be old ones. I know that the seal is a Saab-only part. When I went to the shop that ordered the glass, they took one look at the seal and said; "we don't have that, only the glass came in the box, and I don't think we can do that with a universal seal because of the square corners at the bottom." Went to another glass place I trust (my son picked the first) and they said that their manual states "may need a new seal". They explained that the old seal could get damaged upon removal because of the age of the part. Also said that they can't find the seal anywhere.
I looked at the windshield replacement procedure in the Saab Convertible manual, and it doesn't look all that complicated. My question is, has anyone here ever removed a convertible windshield? The seal on my son's car doesn't look all that weathered. I'm wondering if I should go to the local pick and pull and see if I can remove a windshield from one of the verts there to see how hard it is and possibly get an extra seal (or parts) in case the shop breaks the seal upon removal.
Car is a 1993. Please advise...
