Pay to have a glass repair shop remove it!!!

I've got the exact tool shown in that Matco ad and couldn't do it. I've also tried the piano wire trick (works fine on some cars) on my EF Honda and couldn't do it.

Some of the problem is dealing with the metal within the "trim" piece.

I had a glass shop guy come out to my house and he used a special saw that is kind of like a reciprocating saw, but with a long "snout" (think of an ant eater). He made pretty much fast work of it.
