Soak it with some gas? If you can get a small screw driver and CAREFULLY get it between the metal and the glass the metal frame may come loose.......but don't break it!!!

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

I found spray-on brake cleaner to be really good dissolving glass setting tape. I think a spray can of gasket remover would do it too.
