Darren.
Had this problem replacing the rubbers in mine.
I had to prise the frame a little bit at the top.
Put a screwdriver between the edge of the frame and the glass and prised it away.
Not on the side of the glass, on the edge.
When I replaced the rubber I squeezed the frame back into shape.
I had to use clamps to get the glass back in, its a very tight squeeze.
Cheers
DAVE

yep you have to pri the glass n frame apart.
Make sure you have a face shield or safety glass on when using the screw driver as sometimes the glass can shatter... or explode in your face.
You can make a template from plywood to the shape of the frame before removing the glass, as sometimes you have to bend the frame back into shape to
get it to take the glass.
