Anyone got any tips on removing rear windows and can you use the rubbers or do you need new ones?

Thanks

Its quite hard to remove them TBH, we cracked ours so ended up smashing them out.

I you want to keep the windows, I would get an autoglass guy with the proper tools to do it as they are glued in.

Bit of wire. If you manage to get the rubbers off without damaging them then fair enough, I doubt you will though. Just take the rubbers off, poke the wire through and then use a scissor motion to cut through the glue

What Graham said, id advise putting bits of tape around where you have cut when using the wire technic so the window doesnt just suddenly drop.

the rubbers pull right out so you can save them easy. if you don't care about the glass just a hammer will do
