On many campervans, mine included, the rear off-side window is blanked out with a black plastic cover.
I know the original window is still in place beneath the cover as it can be felt from the inside. I have a little rust creeping around the edge of this cover (probably started in the window opening) and I need to remove this cover to get at the rust.

There's no apparent exterior or interior fixings - it just seems to be "stuck" in place and sealed around the edge. I'm tempted just to try levering it off but I don't want to come back on here asking if anyone knows where I can get a new cover!

Surely someone out there must have already got the tee shirt for this one?

Please tell me the secret before I go and get hold of that chisel!

The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.

Hi Tony, Basically underneath that abs trim you will find strips of wood bonded to the glass to the thickness of the recess in the abs panel & then the panel is bonded to that. Nice hot day with the sun on it & you may be able to lift up one edge far enough to see under with a torch to ascertain how long a blade you will need, Steve
