Yes, this works.

Actually while planning one SSE operation, we heavily debated the best way to break glass windows. One guy on the team wanted to tape around the edges, attach a suction cup to the center, and break the window with a spark plug. While that would work, and be the quieter option, I decided it would be too slow and too complicated. I was expecting to break a lot of windows, and we only had 2 hours for SSE. So in the end, I decided to just smash the window with a crowbar, and run the crowbar violently along the edges to clear out any big broken glass still not detached from the window frame. Then make entry.
