Look very closely to see whether the rubber folds into itself somewhere. If it does, unzip that. Then you lift yhe glass out, leaving the rubber in the body.
Most automotive glass is roped in, so those you just have to pick away at a corner from the inside, pushing gently on the glass as you try to fold the inside lip down so it will go out the hole. Once you are started, it should come out reasonable easily. Unless it's been glued, too. Which is quite possible.
Your results may vary, but unless it is a very new gasket, I have better results just cutting it and buying a new one.
Breaking the glass sucks.

As long as the rubber isn't a "new reproduction" which are often a reproduction in that they are made of a rubber like substance and look similar before you take them out of the bag.
