Not sure if you ripped it out yet but ill give you my advice i use for doing stuff like this on apple equipment.

Use the heat gun trick but get a fine guitar pick or a small bendable knife and use it to cut free the glass from the body. Be very careful to not get it to hit the LCD and crack or scratch it. I typically use a fine tipped guitar pick, kitchen knife, utility knife blade, or another plastic pry tool i have in my tool box.

Also, when and if you get it off, make sure there is no dust on the lcd panel or the inside part of the glass. Also check for any fragments of the glass or fingerprints as you will clearly see them once you assemble it all and it will look like crap.

Hahaha, it is a pain in the ass trust me but you cant do anything bad unless you slip and stab the lcd panel. Thats the absolute worst thing that can go wrong with this. Just take your time, be slow, and pay attention and you will do fine with it.

What about just taping over the glass with duct-tape or something similar so that it will keep the screen in one piece. Then you can just take it out as though it was one piece.

I would advise 100% against this. If he prys up on a large piece of the glass, since its busted it will lift that piece up over the rest of the glass and cause it to point into the lcd panel. It can then either scratch the lcd panel or crack the lcd panel.

Plus either way as soon as you start to pry up on it, the fragments of the glass will start to crumble and come apart and land on the screen. DO NOT brush these off!! You should either use a vacuum and suck them up with it and NOT rest the vacuum on the lcd panel, or tip the laptop upside down over a garbage can to shake the glass pieces loose. I would do the vacuum part if i was doing the repair.
