take off the molding of course and then from the OUTSIDE using a sharp razor knife score through the rubber gasket. Go inside the car and do the same and you should be able to just pop the glass out a that point with no problem. Remove of course from the inside of the car.

Have somebody inside the car to catch it as you push it out from the outside.

Don't forget to replace it with safety glass!

Kevin, the only thing holding your rear glass in is the trim moulding on the inside. Once remove, you should be able to push the glass in with the rubber gasket intact. Replace the gasket and the glass with safety glass.

Be sure to do as Doug says and have someone inside.... I said bye bye to my original rear window because I didn't ask the wife for help.
