Start in a corner, using two flat screwdrivers work the inner lip over the metal,
and it will come off. Be careful with the windshield, it doesn't stand much
flexing before it cracks. Also  be careful not to pierce holes with the
screwdrivers.

The Haynes manual also describes this procedure, and I've done it successfully on
several different cars (not always VWs)
