When I bought my 2001 in Feb. the rear window leaked. The used car dealer sent me to a professional glass installer to have the old one replaced. As I watched them do the work, it became apparent that the only way to remove it is to break it. The professionals spent about an hour & a half trying to get it out before they decided to break it out. I don't know if you can get them out with out breaking them because of the way they are installed. My require a dealer w/ special tools. Sorry.

the rear windows can be removed without breaking them. i have a solid one i'ma be puttin on the truck soon in place of the slider.

pretty much it takes two ppl, but you gotta pry one top corner, then the other and work down the sides.

the bottom corners have the press in plastic things, you can see them if you take off the interior stuff.

once the sides are off, start at one side and slowly move towards the other and pry the window out. have your buddy hold the side thats already been pried out.

.... it takes awhile but it can be done
