[DeTomaso] Ideas for removing mirror base from side glass?

[Mike Drew]

That wouldn’t fix the problem. There is a metal bracket glued to the glass. The glass hasn’t been damaged, so if I could get it off, the glue could easily be removed and the glass would be good as new. 

I just can’t get it off!

   That wouldn't fix the problem. There is a metal bracket glued to the
   glass. The glass hasn't been damaged, so if I could get it off, the
   glue could easily be removed and the glass would be good as new.

   Guys,
   I picked up a beautiful quarter window, temporarily ruined by having a
   mirror glued to it. I am afraid of damaging it trying to remove it.
   Using a scraper I was easily able to lift off the glue where the mirror
   base isn't. But where it is, it is well and truly stuck!
   Looking for ideas. I can't get under it with a blade.  I'm reluctant to
   use heat to soften the glue, because I'm afraid localized heat from a
   heat gun could stress the glass and break it.
   So, what to I do? I'm tempted to just set it on fire and hope for the
   best. :)
