Replacethe lead came.

You can spend a lot of wasted time trying to "trim" it off when it will
still be there. If you are removing it to repair the panel and reinstall
it, just take off enough to do what you need to, then reinstall. Silicon
sticks like crazy to lead.

I use a small block plane, or a super-sharp lead knife. I don't worry about
getting it all off, because the perimiter lead is "supposed" to be behind
the wood, anyway. I only worry about getting the lumps off so that a new
bead of silicone will lie smooth and the panel will fit back into the
opening evenly.
