Help with removal of this cowl cover on windshield - plastic piece between fender/hood and windshield

I am trying to remove this cowl cover my 08' Murci and having trouble with seeing the best way to remove.   Once the wiper is removed and the two torx bit screws under trunk lid) it's still fairly tight as it nears each side of the car between the window and the front fenders.  

Is it glued/epoxied on to the windscreen and must be removed with fish line or some other cutting tool where the last 12"-18" lay against the window?  I can take a pic but here are a few links showing what it looks like.

Thanks for any help!  If you know of a bodyshop that has worked on or painted a Murci they could also help..

If the vehicle spent any amount of time outdoors - and unless it's super-low miles then it probably did in the past 13 years - that part will crack upon removal. It's heavily glued, and the sun makes the plastic brittle. My first Murcielago was just 4 years old when I got it and it cracked on it's own.

A good body man or windshield guy can remove that trim. Get a new one from Lamborghini.
