It will push out from the inside , start from one of the top corners and work your way round . You can still use the original seal when you re fit

Thanks mate...do you know if that seal can be brought separately?

Getting some work done to the car the window need to come out...but scared they may break it.

I've removed a few, they are actually quite easy to remove, harder to put back in mind, use the string method, every time I've put one back in (twice) the seals are fine , this may be because they are pretty robust or how careful you are removing them.
