sit in your boot and get a trusty friend with a good catch on the out side. push the top edge with your feet and it'll pop out!! to put it back in put a length of strong string covered in washing up liquid in the seal of the rubber, hook the bottom edge in then get trusty friend to push hard on the glass as you pull the string out thus peeling the lip of the rubber over the edge of the boot!!! or save yourself alot of swearing and annoyance and stump up the ?15 you tight arse!!!!
