Removing glass from UPVC window

[david.cawkwell]

Hello,

I want to replace the glass (seal has gone) on a UPVC window (internal beading). Basically what is the trick how do I get the glass out?

I've replaced glass on aluminium windows where you removed the rubber bead on the inside which then gives you enough room to removed the beading/surround from the outside.

But on these the rubber seems fixed to the surround.

========================== Look for a fine gap about 1" below the rubber where the bead joins the main frame. IF there is such a gap (quite standard) insert a thin blade (I use a paint scraper) near the *centre* of the bead and gently lever the bead upwards.
