easy, if there is glue in there WD40 dissolves it but makes it gloopey, or just ring up a windscreen place and ask them! but just be careful and make sure you dont put it on a flat surface otherwise it will pop!

its not to hard i done mine and im only 15. i pushed the rubber seal in the hole way around the window. then put a cover over the bonnet to protect it then get into the car seat then push the window out with your feet

I suggest cutting the window rubber and lifting the unbroken screen out. just push the borken one out and reuse that window rubber.

I haven't managed to get a Nova windscreen out without breaking it.

I've just curled the window rubber around from the inside of the car, little by little and the window came out ok.

it only breaks if you want to keep it.
