Gary – I took out one of my Plexus installed windows a couple weeks ago using a dremel oscillating tool (analogous to Fein multi tool). One has to be careful, but it worked surprisingly well. It’s plexus, so there will be repair work needed to the gelcoat. I’m fortunately done will all that work and will install a new lens in a couple weeks if the weather holds.
Holler if you have questions.

On Calypso I have been very pleased with the efficiency of my Fein multi tool and the carbide bits. There is a triangle shaped bit that has course carbide and a semi-circle that has a finer carbide grit. Both bit stand up to hard use on fiberglass and epoxy. If I was faced with removing hard adhesive from a tight space I would use the triangle bit for its narrow contact area and ease of position control.

If I am wrong please let me know, because I am killing myself trying to remove the Plexus. Gary S/V High Maintenance
