<VV> Rear Window (backlite) Reveal Moldings Removal

[eamsquared at comcast.net]

I am in the process of restoring my car and need to remove the rear window reveal moldings. I've purchased Clark's trim removal tool and would appreciate any advise based on experience.  Which molding is best to remove 1st, top, sides, or bottom.  I do not want to damage the rear glass since it is original and seems to be impossible to purchase replacements. 

I've used the tool to remove the windshield reveal moldings and managed to chip the windshield.  I do not want to repeat that experience on the backlite reveal moldings.  

  

I am the original owner and the moldings have never been removed before.
