the oven
210 degrees F for 10-15 min
then try prying it apart with flathead screwdrivers
then to seal it back up use silicone or reheat the glue in the oven

exactly
dont use that
i dont like the idea neither of handling a hot item
do like i did
took a hairdrier on HOT and carefully removed all the glass by prying a lil bit.... or use a heat gun..... easy and u can have them back in matter of hrs,.... and make sure u silicone all the borders VERY good when u put it back togheter
