I haven't done it but I did just take my interior out and it looks like after you've pulled the rear lower panels and the rear upper trim panels, the window is just held in with a bunch of studs and nuts. I'm sure there's a seal holding it in place too that'd have to be replaced as well.

You will need to cut the glass out as it has adhesive all the way around. I would pickup one of these kits to do the removal.

remove interior panels
Remove bolts holding the window from inside
removed outside window trims but be very careful to not brake the clips
than use the kit posted above or use a guitar string wrapped around some wood rods on both ends.

What I used was an old flexible long knife (cheap ones), heated the crap out of it and pushed it through cutting the window glue. Worked pretty good for me.
