They are bonded and need cutting out.
Glass company won't charge much

Absolute cunt to get out without the proper tools, sealed in.. Easier to remove with cheese wire, but still a pain.

Best of paying a professional IMO

I've cut one out before, took over an hour. That was with an old knife though.
Cheese wire make it much easier
