Hi folks,

        I need to remove my rear window so we can fix some rust that started under the seal.  The seal is fairly new so still supple. 

        I thought before I move ahead I would ask those that have done this before. 

I have prepared the hatch, all items like curtains and wires are gone.  Rear wiper arm is off. 

It looks like a two person job, but if I can get it out so that future helpers can get right to work on the rust part that would be great. 

I was considering working on it with the hatch up.  Then pull the rubber out of the way with a length of thick rope.  Then hopefully lift the window up and out. 
I could cut the rubber but if it is removed without playing with sharp knives that would be nice.

Tips are greatly appreciated.
