1. Remove the rear window glass regulator.
2. Remove both C-pillar upper trim panels.
3. Remove the 12 rear window glass mounting nuts.

4. CAUTION: Use only a plastic windshield setting tool to slide under the seal to separate the foam core butyl from the glass.

Failure to use a plastic windshield setting tool can damage the body or the glass frame.
