Rear Window Removal
Short answer: The glass is set in adhesive, so you cut around it. Auto-glass shops use a special L-shaped blade tool, but it’s an art — a dull blade or a careless twist can crack the glass.
A safer DIY method is the piano-wire (or guitar-string) technique: poke a hole through the sealant, push the wire through, wrap each end around a stick, then have one person inside and one outside slowly saw around the edge of the window.
