How to remove vinyl window trim to replace glazing?

One of my small picture windows cracked when it was really cold this winter. I have a replacement window glazing unit (just two panes of glass sealed together). The windows are Jeld-Wen vinyl. Window I watched several YouTube videos and thought I had a good plan. I bought a few tools and have been putting it off. I finally got up on a ladder and the few videos I watched didn't match my windows. There aren't are any seams where the trim should just pop out like in the videos. The only seams appear to be at the 4 corner miter joints. It looks like the exterior trim is just 4 large pieces that encompass the entire window. I see two small screwdriver sized slots on the bottom but not sure what to do with those. Window seams Any ideas? submitted by /u/stayintheshadows [link] [comments]
