What is the year and make of the vehicle? Thepiano wire method's biggest drawback is the potentialfor the wire to heat up and thus break the glass whena hot wire contacts the glass. The best method I've found (not including the proper tools = in excess of $450) is a chrome release tool (about $12) a utility knife around the edge of the glass (outside, all of the way to the pinchweld) and a cheap fillet knife ( flat tothe glass inside). Take your time and remain in control.

The tool actually made to remove glass set in urethane is a Fein tool. It ascillates at about 14,000 rpm and is adjustable to around 65,ooo rpm. It's slick for cutting out glass. No contact of hot metal on the edge of the glass, a common cause for explosion of tempered glass.
