    I would start first with an exact or razor blade to get it started. use A good light and a magnifying glass to find a likely spot to start, and trim out the exposed gasket on the edge a bit to create a clean entry for driving a thin blade putty knife in.

    If you just have at it, there is a good likelihood of damaging the mating surfaces.
