Get a cutting wire make a hole in the seal then with both hands saw at it. One hand inside and one out.

Might need a mate to hold glass or cut the top first then tape it up so it don't fall out.

3 or 5 door?

You need to take the glass out of the hatch? Why?
Might be easier to buy another hatch from a scrappie.

Oh and does it have electric windows?

best way without any damage is to ask your local friendly windscreen people... some are happy to remove for only a few £££ (off the books  :whistle:)

^^This, sound advice and a lot easier in the long run as they can rebond them for you when you have finished.
