Removing the edges of Cracked Screen

The ipad screen literally cracked at the top left and top right corners. I got the rest of the panel off, but can't seem to get these two corners off as it is cracked into small pieces, heavily glued to the corner.

Any tips on removing these micro shards in one piece or as easily as possible?

A heat gun on low in 4-5 second increments and an iSeasmo. For tiny shards and residual adhesive I would use 99% alcohol, a plastic opening tool to scrape along the plastic mid-frame, and a microfiber cloth for final clean up. I would do this for the entire mid-frame and everywhere there may be adhesive left over from the old screen.

If you ever have a screen that really comes apart, you can tilt over the ipad and tap it out then use packing tape (for instance on the battery) to stick-n-lift very fine particles--then do the above. If you use an anti-static mat, etc, you can also use packing tape to stick-n-lift leftover glass.

Btw, trust me, one of those little shards gets in your finger, it will fester and become a painful nuisance. And i cannot stress enough, always wear safety goggles, no exceptions.
