Glass guys I use only use the pull knife when where not keeping the screen can easily break them with it. There's a wire they use like piano wire thin and sharp one guy inside and one outside pulling the ends back and forward cutting though urethane (glue). I think if using that knife or a blade I'd do it from the inside on those back widows.

Na heat won't work probably crack glass with that much heat. Gota cut them out just use a blade from inside if it breaks there will be glass everywhere I think they are toughen glass which means lots of little bits of glass when they break not a crack like the windscreens do.
