need help with rear window
I'm trying to get the rear window trim out. Well guess what, there is a screw behind the quarter window.
It looks like, if I could get the rear window to roll all the way down, it would be no problem. But I can't slide the little glass out with the big glass in the way.
Is there a way to roll the rear window down or pop it off the track for this purpose? I'm hoping there is a trick to this. Or maybe it doesn't involve getting the window down at all...I just need to get to that screw.

Looks the same as the front. That stupid silver brace had come off so I glued it down. The bottom portion of the black metal had bent out so I bent it back.
To get the trim off there are 2 extra steps. But you don't have a side view mirror to deal with this time so that's nice.
1) remove the whole speaker assembly (4 or 5 screws - easy)
2) drop down the window.
To to this, loosen the bolt on the right and remove the bolt on the left. (you can do this without removing the plastic).
You can tilt the window down out of the way and pull out the quarter window now. There is a gold bolt below the quarter panel pillar (which is still in your way) that you have to remove but you don't have to take the pillar out, just move it aside.
