Ok, I managed to do it, but being reckless I damaged it:
The best way I found was to use a thin chisel, and a plastic scraper, get them in between the glass and the plastic body and use them as levers to slowly make the glue release. Much like you would use plastic levers to remove a tire from a bicycle. Be very careful with using small or metal levers, as the glass can chip or crack. DON'T USE A DREMEL AROUND THE EDGES, like I tried.
