Is there a way to remove the glass from the door mirrors without cracking it?

Shallow pan, boiled water simmering for about 20 mins, softens the glue, then peel carefully using a plastic scraper to work the edge...

Hold the glass flat on the table and bend the plastic while working the open edge...

even then its 50/50

Do you mean removing from the holder, if so, then move mirror, so that it cannot go down any further, then using a thin screwdriver, or one of the plastic trim removal tools, insert it and the top left or right and slowly twist it and it will pop out of the lug, then move across to the other side and do the same again, then go back to first side, and insert further down and repeat process
