No, you just need to know how. If you are replacing the old rubber with
new, simply take a knife and cut the rubber, and the glass will come out
very easily. If you are not planning on replacing the rubber, start in a
corner, using a couple of screw drivers, carefully working the rubber
over the edge. It is difficult in the beginning, but once you have
started the procedure and get the hang of it, it will be easy. Be
careful with the front windshield, it cracks very easily!!

This is easier than getting them out (if you took them out the hard way
that is). Install the rubber on the glass, then insert a clothes line or
wire in the right size (2-3 mm) in the section of the rubber where it
sits on the body. You also need a spray bottle of soapy water, and a
helper. Have the helper hold the window up against the body, and start
puling the line so the lip of the rubber goes over the lip on the body.
If it falls off, just try again. After a couple of tries you'll get the
hang of it.
