I think if you look at this PDF, it will tell you how to take out the back seat and the side panels.Follow steps 1 -12.

Why did you name the title of your post "Convertible Top Doesn't work" if your question is about your rear window?

When you click on the link, it should ask you if you want to open or download the PDF. You can open it and print it out.

Or if you saved it, it is most likely in your download folder.

The instructions are going to tell you to put your top half down. Obviously that is going to be a problem if your top doesn't go down.

It will be tight, but you should be able to accomplish steps 1-12 with the top up.

Thanks buddy I appreciate it for your time and a advice I was messing with it earlier and I figured you could not replace it without the top coming down but it's kinda hard to explain to a woman lol she was telling me she was just going to take it to a shop and was showing her on the car the top has to come down to get it because there was two bolts I couldn't get too

I don’t get it, am I missing something? What’s happened to the rear window? Was it broken? Why would it cause the top not going down?

Enter "Manually Opening the top"
You will find a thread there that complete instructions including a PDF posted by Habious.

Good luck!
