There are 3 studs from the window that you will need to remove the nuts on

Rear seats, lower rear panel, Oh !#$% Handle, and then pull the upper trim out.

After that you will see the 3 mentioned nuts.

A putty knife may help as it also attached with sealant to keep water out

It sucks that you have to remove the rear seat just to get the panel off. I broke my panel thinking it was a clip holding it in. Your gonna have to remove that sealant to get that window off and I think a heat gun would help or cut it out.

I replaced a buddy of mines... remove the interior around it and you can see what needs to be done. I used window weld to reseal it after.

There are a few clips tucked behind the seats that I couldnt get too. I pulled the panel hard and broke a couple of those clips. now I cant get the panel to seat right. Here is what you have to remove and you will see: seat belt, the handle up to, pop up panel in the door seal just to uncover the back panel and slowly pull rear panel back. You should now see rear window trim and what has to be removed.

This should give you an idea. Its not everything but once you start pulling back you will see. Be careful on pulling on panels. Mine was broke from previous owner.

If you look up rear speaker removal it shows you how in a write up just stop following it once the panel is off
