Its a simple but somewhat agricultural process. Can be done by one person, but safer with a helper.
- Insert yourself across the rear seats, feet facing to window to be removed.
- Have helper standing by outside the car ready to receive the window to be removed.
- Bracing the back against the opposide side of the car, place both feet on the window to be removed.
- Apply firm pressure to pop the window from the rubber.

Believe it or not, this is the way Porsche specialists have been removing them for decades.

I removed mine by hitting a tire wall. Not the recommended procedure. I have no idea how the body shop got the thing back in. I tried for hours. It drove me nuts.

Some things just beg for a picture. Tony wadded up in the back of his 944 cage and all is one of them.

Hey Kurt - we are talking about the 911 rear 1/4 window, so the image is me wadded up around the roll bar in the back of trusty #999

You know, I was picturing you in the old 911 but typed 944. I gotta start proofing my posts.
