If you need it have back door glass, also have ambulance back door glass (double panes). Both free if you want them

Both free if you want them thank you very much for the offer but at the moment i'm alright for the camper glass as I have a spare door.the amby glass would be handy for old Jackie but the cost is getting it to here or kent.

Use washing up liquid and water in a trigger bottle ( for spraying water or use a cleaned out surface cleaner one etc ), spray the edge that you are going to start with and use a flat headed screwdriver ( if you don't mind scratching the paint ) you can wrap tape around the flat edge of the screwdriver to minimise damage. Pry a corner over from the inside and gently make your way around the window, using the spray bottle lots to keep it all moist. If you warm the rubber first with hot ( not boiling ) water this helps soften the rubber making it easier to move. Just take your time and don't be tempted to force the glass out, when you have one side removed remember to hold onto the glass, it will be slippery with the washing up liquid. I have known people to duck tape glass with a loose cross, corner to corner, gives enough room to pop the rubber out but holds the glass. Good luck. If using new seals on refit you can just cut the old seals with a blade, but again, take your time, a minute longer could save you money, hassle or a trip to your local A&E department !

Frighteningly easy to get them out isn't it? Thats one reason why i don't have them any more. I think i could have one out silently in seconds if I didn't want to save the rubber
