Removing the Display for a Surface Pro 4 with Glass Screen Protector?

I have a Surface Pro 4 tablet with a glass UAG screen protector that I want to replace the battery. I've removed the display on another Surface Pro 4 using a heating pad so I'm familiar with the process.

For the Surface with a screen protector, I planned on use several iOpeners to heat the edges to soften the adhesive.

Has anyone successfully performed the display removal on a Surface with a glass screen protector?

Just do it the same way as the last one. Which ever way you do it there’s always a chance the protector will come off anyway.

My concern was not so much whether the protector would come off, but whether the thermal expansion between the LCD and the protector could crack the display?

Why not just remove the protector then work on the screen replacement?
