You can also use a heat gun and get the same effect. To put back together you just do the same heat up and put back. I have done it before to make a projector retrofit on a altima but the same technique can be used here.
Uhhh... As suggested I kept the oven at low temps. I watched the window closely and the glue did NOT become tacky and when I thought the window was warm enough to separate, it did NOT separate but the plastic windows were warm enough to distort their shape and ruin a brand new window. Now I have a $60 warped window that I couldn't re-shape and another brand new one that's now useless. If anyone searches this thread for future reference, advice given freely is one thing but advice followed is quite another.
