Your doing a vert? Awsome. 
Those bad boys are a **** to get out.
They are glued/sealed. What I did was to drill a tiny hole thru the sealant (be careful, dont crack the glass!), then snake a thin steel wire thru the hole. Then use it like a saw to cut thru the sealant. Br patient. It took me 2 hrs on each window, and alot of pieces of SS .020 saftey wire. Also thers a nut on the inside on the front portion of the glass, and one under the plastic trim outside at the back corner. Good luck and be patient!

Find a windshield shop. Friend of mine that works for one busted out his "Fein knife" and cut my 1/4 windows out in no more than a minute a piece.

not only for the mafia
The Haynes manual says to use a piece of piano wire to cut out the windows. Do you have a music shop around you some place?

I covered the 1/4 windows with duct tape inside and out. Applied big ******* hammer and they came out in no time. Vacuumed out any glass that came unstuck from duct tape. Easy.
