Loosen Windshield to smooth out bubbles in dash vinyl

I have a 1989 CMC Speedster and need to loosen the windshield to access and smooth out dash vinyl that has bubbled in spots from adhesive underneath giving way. If I do so to press the bubbled vinyl flat in the direction of the windshield and/or pull the vinyl from the hood side, I believe I can repair the dash. My concern is cracking the glass if I don't loosen it the correct way.

If I can loosen the centre rod, I believe I can smooth the area of vinyl that has bubbled but my concern is that to loosen only the Center rod, I wonder if I am increasing the chance of cracking if it remains fixed at the posts.

Can anyone with experience removing replacing or even installing a speedster windshield comment on my challenge please?...
