Does anybody know how to get out the rear sliding windows? Like the whole bit, seal and all

They pretty much just push out with a bit of gentle force, you might want to use a blunt edge tool to help lift the seal over the lip to start with

I found getting some dish washing liquid, and wiping it around the inside of the window frame - on the rubber

made it easier to slowly gently force the windows out........

there is / was a write up about this on here I think from memory - ages ago -

Grab a mate. One inside pushing out. One to catch.
Start at the top rear corner as this has the least radius. Push out on the glass a rubber and frame will follow

Pretty much, but run a piece of rope (I use paracord) around (inside) the seal, get a mate to hold the widow up and start the seal , then from the inside pull the rope gently to flip the seal over the car. If that makes any sense

This might explain what I mean better http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QvcJ_lU_VpQ

I did this a little while ago but ended up putting the process at another car forum. The restrictions here made it all too hard.

Very surprising how easy the windows pop out, gotta think how they stay in
