I have usually done it the same way as datsandy, push with feet and work inside rubber with screwdriver. the rubber outside is a lot stiffer usually than inside.
one thing is that new screens can be laminated, two part with clear film in between. Those can take hardly any force from inside without cracking so need to be cut out.

I thought for sure you'd break it.


Great idea with the pencils. I'll try and remember it.

Well done Son. Like i said in one of my replies. You Can Do It. They can handle a bit of force any way matey i have pushed a few in me day and only ever cracked one. Not a Datsun One Thankfully. Ahhh So that's what those Pencil things are used for Now i know why i carried around that little case with my name on it for so long.

Guys...i had the most brilhant idea....

I was looking at the windsheild...and i was afraid of forcing it to much...and out of nowhere it hit me......PENCILS!!!!

I had a pack of 25 chinese pencils that cost me 99 cents and this is what i imagened...




The photo is pretty crappy...so let me explain...the easiest way to get the windsheild out was to pull back the rubber all way along the windsheild...so then i got the idea of putting pencils all around the window, puling back the ruber...i pulled back the rubber with my hand and inserted a pencil between the rubber and the metal of the car...as soon as i got it all in...i added another pencil right next to the last one...and so on...i used like 10 pecils, one next to another...on the top rubber and on the side rubber...

I was worried that it wasnt going to work...but as soon as i pushed the window with my hand from the inside...it poped just right out...hehe...

It felt like magic...if anyone wants to remove there windsheild...i strongly recomend this method...i did not use extreme force...i just pushed it out...very simple and very easy...hehe...

I guess i can say....the pencil is mightier than the sword! hehe....

Thanks a lot...Peace world...

So in a word: Be patient. That's 2 words isn't it ? But good advice none the less.

Tip: Don't try to force the windshield out -- that is when they break. Just apply gentile pressure and keep working around. Eventually it will be ready to come out.

So in a word: be patient

DatsAndy and pepper....thanks a lot...that was the info i needed...

I decided to give it a go...

Im gonna use the foot, old screw driver tecnic...

I'll tell you guys how it goes...

Any more tips i should know before starting?

Peace...

i got both my windsreen rubber for $40 buck because my old ones had had it..been in the sun too long. so i did the easy way by cutting off the rubber. took 2 seconds to get the windscreens out

Yeah there actually pretty hard to break and why just stuff a rubber if its in good nick. $140 for screen seal. A windscreen fitter at the worst would probably charge you about $40 to remove it. Big difference

i think its easier to keep everything intact.
ive taken out many windscreens by myself and put them back in myself, and i aint no glazier. extremely simple task, and unless your rubber looks totally shagged i would just be careful and save yourself a few bucks that a lazy bloke would blow.
you would have to be VERY rip-tear-bust to break a windscreen.
