Default Glass removing??

How hard id it to remove all the windows from a rst?
Tips and best ways please, never done it before.
Is it a job best left to someone that know what they are doing?
Cheers

never done an rst, but im guessing the front isn't bonded in? if its not then just carefully hack the seal away with a sharp stanley knife, dont even bother trying to save the seal.
doors you will have to remove the doorcard and unbolt/remove some/all of the winder mechanism, its fairly self explanatory when youve got the door card off.
rear quaters are easy if pop out, just take the screws out, if not, do the same as the front and rear and hack the seal away.
as said ive never done it on an rst but i presume it is just the same as 99% of other cars of a similar age.

When i took mine out my 3i i found out that if you start in a corner (not on a flat bit like i did with the first one) with a flat bladed screwdriver and gently tuck the seal over the lip of the window frame working your way round slowly and remembering not to be too forcefull once you get half way round you should be able to lift the rest of the window out.
