Grant's post is full of win. This looks like one of those jobs where it's well worth paying someone else a halfrack to do it..

I used to strip salvage cars for a living (government run insurance company up here) and we had all the tools the window shops had - and I agree with Daniel - a sharp knife works really well.

I broke lots of windows with the pneumatic window urethane cutter so when it was mucho important it was always an olfa knife with black blades and some water and soap in a spray bottle to help lube the knife during cutting.

The spray helps immensely.

Just had the window in my XR removed and re-installed for cage painting. Cost me $100 to have the glass guy do it, he would have done it for $50 cash, but the shop that the car was at wrote a check.. He pulled it, took it to the shop and polished it, and re-installed with a new trim gasket that matches the original perfectly.

Money well spent.
