Heat?  I've never done it myself, but I would assume that you could 
gently heat the area until it's hot enough for the glue to "gel", but 
not hot enough to damage the glass or metal.

An aggressive "Goo-gone" might also do the trick (isn't there a 3M 
product that dissolves glue?), but it might be difficult since it would 
have to "creep" to access the glue in the middle.  Several applications 
might do the trick.

Get back to us on what worked for you though - that's a question I've 
wanted answered myself...
