It's called PVA mold release. Boat shops, and TAP plastics carry it.

or you could use wax paper and masking tape. Unless you want the underside of the box to look really good. It worked like a charm for me when I did a box for my wifes old Neon.

Keep in mind that when you lay the 'glass in the tirewell, if it gets under or around the back of anything (IE the spare hold down) It WONT come back out no matter how much release agent/waxpaper you use.

Aluminum foil, trust me nothing is going to get thru it and it molds well.
