I can tell u what works best for me.� It takes two people.

One person on the inside of the Van on their back.� Both feet placed against the 
glass.� Place the feet so the heels are against the bottom of the glass.�Pry one 
corner first just to loosen it and then the other.� Then spread your feet across 
the bottom. �For the sliders, try to keep the heels on the metal frame.� Then 
push.� The bottom will slowly come out.� When the bottom is out, just flip the 
window out.

I am being serious here.� I have done this several times with great success.� On 
the rear glass, when it starts to move, it goes quickly.� I had one window pop 
out quickly.

This is why you need the second person...to catch it.

Subject: Slider and rear side window removal

OK, I've read all the tricks - WD40, Soapy Water, Paint stickes, Remocal
tools, Rope, Kicking, etc. etc. etc.

My goal is to remove all the windows from the '90 and hopefully keep the
seals intact.

I remember at one time someone had a step by step of the window removal with
pictures but I can't find it. Does anyone know where I can find this?
