I believe the manual just says it pushes out from the inside?

Perhaps somebody can confirm.

You just lift the seal and push from the inside. Theres a good change that the rubber seals will be rock hard if they are the otiginal ones. If it is the case, ur best option will be is to cut the seal with a stanley knife from the inside then push the glass and left over seal out. You will have to by new seals but when the seals are old and hard, they are pretty much impossible to get out and they fall apart.

Nope , they are availible , not the cheapest rubber around (compared to a windscreen rubber) but still availible .

They push out with some leverage around the edge of the rubber with screw driver or similar. I have purchased new rubbers in the past 12 months but cant remember where from? Could have been minisport.
The rubbers around the door are also expensive, and do not fit as well as the old ones.
