Thanks

Smash the glass out - seriously, try to do it in large pieces to make it
easier to handle, and once it's out, you've got an edge to work with.
An old wood chisel is about best for this job


You could you use the old burglar's trick: glue a sheet of cloth onto the window before you smash it.
