I've got a mate that worked for a wreckers and they always used the cheese wire method.

Something you should keep in mind is that you dont want to damage the roof line where the window mates to it.

I had a LS400 that had had a new window put in and they had damaged the paint when they removed the original window.

Subsequently the roof started to rust.

I have heard those blade ones are ok but must be very sharp. Can be hard to get in on some recessed.windows. I have used wire method a few times most times worked like knife through butter last time was a peugeot and kept snapping my wire. I used piano wire. Cheap from music store. Choose highest pitch wire that is still braided as it gives seration. Really need two people though.
