I just pushed mine out.

As I remember, there is a locking flap on the outside that you peel out.

This design of these seals are so weak that I actually removed the rear glass in a parking lot at a Big R store when I locked my keys in it, without any tools.

No matter what, you risk it breaking, so go slow.

The ones I have done I rolled the rubber over the flanged edge from the inside and gently pushed on the window. The softer the window rubber is the easier it is so maybe if weather is on your side leave the truck in the sun and that should make it easier.

Thanks guys,
Going to give it a shot, Look's and feels like it could be the
original seal "real stiff and crack's pretty easy.

If the window rubber is old or hard just stick a razor knife in it and cut it along the glass and it'll come right out. Then just buy a new seal.
