Hi Peet,
The way that I have done this is to use a wide blunt flat screwdriver, start at the top and put the screwdriver between the seal and metal lip. After some b*ggering about you can lift the seal and push the outer edge edge over the metal lip. You can work your way along and when most of the rubber is over the lip, your assistant on the outside can wiggle it out.
Takes a while but its worked for me.

Yeah, wot he said, although a plastic spatula type thing (or frying pan flipper doobrey) I found quite good, and less like to damage rubber!

Get on your back and with your feet push the window at a corner till it pops out! (Have someone outside too catch it)

Spatula, that was the word
