sorry, i shouldve specified it a little more clearly. i need to find out how to take the "rear" windshield off to have open access to my rear deck.

From what I know, the windshields F&R are bonded to the car with industrial strength epoxy. I suppose you need to cut the rubber epoxy from inside the car to remove it.

Nah, you can have the rear window out in less than a minute, but you'll probably never get it back in, and if you do, you'll always have wind noise.

This is NOT something you want to do, but just so you know, all you need is a window trim removal tool and a box cutter. Take off the trim and cut the adhesive with the box cutter and wham, that window is done. Now pull it back and out.

You'll need a fair set of specialized tools to get it back in, and a special sealant for the glass. Temperature is also important, without the right sealant for the temp, it will never bond correctly.
And it needs to setup overnight before you reinstall the window trim, preferably in a warm garage.

Really, don't do this, it's a pain in the ***.

thanks for the heads up...dayam ls, wonderful car for a driver...but not a good car for an audiophile...dammit, back to the drawing board.

You can do it other then taking the rear window out. Best thing is to remove tension bars and replace them with shocks. Then cut out x number of 12" holes in the rear deck and fixate x number of subs using a baffle. I will start doing that soon with Rick's help.
