I have a bought a windscreen from a wreck, only problem is that it is still in the wreck. Is there an easy way to get it out? I thought about cutting the old rubber seal off with a Stanley knife.

There should be either a chrome or black trim in the windscreen rubber.
You need to remove this, and then push the winscreen out from inside the car from the top left or right corner.
Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to take it out.

Pull out the rim that fits into the middle of the rubber all the way round.

Loosen the rubber away from the screen with a plastic knife or similar.

Gently push one of the tuop corners from the inside.

It should come out easily.
