just sit inside and push out evenly and have a mate catch it when it pops out. Or if your replacing the seal you can just cut the old seal out. Not as difficult as you think.

thnks for that i will give it a go on the weekend

cut the rubber on the inside or sit on yr bum n push it out with yr feet make sure you have shoes on in case the glass shatters, and have someone on the outside to catch it.
