...Is it an easy job to put a window rubber in on the rear window of a corsa B sport ?? does the spoiler have to come off, so you can get access to the top of the glass ??

Also does anyone vaugely know the price of a new rubber ??

Yup as its moulded around the glass!

The inside rubber can be removed easy which lets you get to the bond thats holding the window in but the exterior rubber is wrapped around the window

No, it doesn't need to be taken out.
The glass is bonded to the vehicle, but the rubber just slots into the gap left between the car and glass. I found out when I was tinting my windows in my old car, as I was going to take the glass out, but found it was bonded in.
You will probably need to take the spoiler off though, as you said to be able to reach the top.

But when i resprayed my corsa i took the rubbers out and could not push them back inot place properly cos they have a groove which the glass sits in to hold the rubber weather seal inplace Hence why i had to put rubber weather seal on the glass before i bonded them back onto the car
