the windows are held in with window weld"urethane window caulk" its a very tough rubber ..ive watched guys remove and install windows alot andf i still dont think i could do it...they use a weird hook shaped razor knife to cut away at it or some times they use a thin steel cable of some sort to cut through the rubber caulk..i think the tools and rubber window caulk can be had at most napa's im sure if you have any questions about how to do somthing a glass installer would probally give you some tips or pointers over the phone..or just go to a junk yard with tools and practice lol..thats what id do(after i bought the tools)

what up max... I took my rear quarters out with a torch and putty knife. First, I had all the rear panels out... Then I would heat up the putty knife blade then from the inside if the car... I would take it and push through the glue/window caulking. the rears were tough to do...I tried the front windshield and cracked the **** out of it.... The front is alot harder, without the correct tools...hope this helps.. I think with the right tools it should be easier. Laters
