just boot 'em out, may be a good idea to get someone
to catch 'em on the outside. don't do it this way with the
windscreen though cos you'll break it.

yeah thats it. for the rear side windows, just sit in the back seats and push them with your legs and they should just pop out.

If you're not going to re-use the rubbers, run a stanley knife round it and take the glass out. Good if you're alone too.

The seals on these windscreens are much the same as the side windows aren't they? If they are like all the VW t2 and t3 glasses I've tackled, they aren't bad to get out but you do need 2 people really - one person to pull the seal back on the inside and another to push the glass out bit by bit. Start in a corner and pull the seal right back so you can see the edge of the window aperture and slowly shove the screen out while working the seal back. A good trick is to use some small blocks of wood to hold the rubbers back, this way you need to put a lot less force into removing the screen:  With this method even a big t25 windscreen comes out with very minimal force. You could probably do it alone, but I like to have two people around just because I'm clumsy. If the seals are hard and cracked they won't want to flex much, and are probably not reusable anyway. In which case just cut round the edge and the screen will pretty much drop out |

I tend to warm the rubbers with a hair dryer if they are old.
Just softens them up a bit and makes things easier.
