Just stripping shell prior to sending off for cage and need to remove all the glass.
Apart from using a hammer are there any tips / techniques to make it easier?

Thanks.
It all came out far more easily than expected tbh. Only downer was the front screen which developed a tiny tiny crack.
Big enough to render is useless though.

Took my windscreen out after some tips very easily. It stayed under my bed for 2 months while the cage was fitted.
When putting it in the other car to take to a garage, so they could put it back in (the bit more difficult part), I held it horizontally and the weight of it cracked itself... top tip there hold them upright when moving them about!

first id undo the two screws at the hinge ,
Then theres 2 8mm nuts 1 behind the circle bung and 1 behind the hook at top , you will probs need 1/4 " socketand extension , whilst undoing second nut hold window as precaution but shouldnt fall out ;)
