Hi Dave
Using a flat screwdriver or bicycle tyre levers, gentle push the rubber from the inside over the metal lip. Once you have done a corner and a fair amount either side, start to push the window out. Don't force it or slip with the screw driver!! If you replace the rubber use a genuine one, not a shite one from JK or the like. Try here http://www.volkswagenemporium.co.uk/shop/index.php |

Make sure someone is outside to catch the window if you push too far!! |

Be careful with the kitchen window-speaking fromexperience they shatter easy (when dropped) and are difficult to obtain and expensive to replace. Held to the body by a ridiculous 'hinge' and telescopic stay. rest of the windows come out really easy once initial rubber lip pushed over window edge. Believe they are the standard seals

Stanley knife the seal off from the outside if replacing seal.
