Try this, then two feet at each bottom corner comes out with minimal effort.

Call me siht, but i struggled to remove them using a screwdriver!!

I had to take one of mine out recently to replace with a louvred window. Used a few well spaced scrapers, tucked up, over and down between rubber and frame.
That was after a lot of shoving and pushing because I couldn't remember how I had done the others when I re-filmed them!

Cheers , anyone else got a unique way of removing windows?

[weldore]

i just removed the trim on mine and they just pushed out

[umgum]

a brick always works

[pmulcahy]

Ok so you dont even need to lever the rubber? You can just push them staight out?? It was the first time i took out the windows and didnt know how much punishment the glass would take.

[weldore]

once the trim is removed if you push in the corner ,the outer side of the rubber folds over to let the glass out...well it did on mine anyhows
it does seem as though the window is gonna break any sec but it doesnt....or non of mine have so far and theyve been in and out more times than....well ..you know

[pmulcahy]

a brick,

[dugcati]

or better still these are great....





Seriously though the scrapers trick does work - it's getting windows back in where I smash them up There is always the method of cutting the rubbers if you buy new ones for replacing - not a cheap way but if the old ones are dying then the knife method becomes a valid ond

[weldore]

it might depend on your van too..mines a panel conversion so theres no recess
