pull the expander strip out, then use a butterknife to work your way around it, the wack it with an open palm and a rag, start in the corner.
cheers

I did my rear window today. No one aorudn to help so i did it myself. Took every bit of 2 minutes. Pull the chrome strip out, get a knife and push it right through behind the seal until it pops through the other side. Start and one corner and work around until it 'cracks' the seal. Then at one corner, put hte knife in again, and reach in with your other hand and push out as you gently 'pry' it out with the knife. Once youve got one corner it you can just peel the whole screen out....carefully. With 2 people tho, the foot methos is the best in my opinion, one can put pressure on with their feet, the other can work teh knife and hold the glass.

it's amazing what you can do with the right tools and a bit of practice... I took my car in for a new windscreen parked the car where they wanted it and walked away... get to the door and look back and they were carrying my screen to the bin in one piece!!!
