Apparently, because it's a dry-fit window:
- -get a thin stiff wire (not sure if a coat hanger will work) or a thin narrow flat-bar
-push through a piece of string
-push through other end of string at opposite end of window
-two-person pull, third/four persons catch
Replacement is a gentle placement fit and push into the frame.
Never tried it myself, but this is how it was described to me once.
Disclaimer: without the proper equipment and/or number of people, it's relatively easy to drop, watch fall, not catch or otherwise prevent one's vehicle glass from being a victim of gravity and shattering on the surface of the planet. Try the above removal procedure at your own risk to glass and toes.
removing my rear window to fix my rusty/bubbly bits under the rear 'trunk' window.
