RE: Quarter window Question
You need to remove the interior panels inside the car and probably to do that you need to remove the back of the rear seats. Then the windows are just bolted in. You may want to do it in the sun so the butyl holding the window is soft, or use a hair dryer. You also should get a long box cutter to cut the butyl out as mush as you can so the window is easier to get out. I put the newer styel windows in my car last winter...

You don't have to remove the back seats, they just fold down assuming it's a hatch from your picture, never played with the rear seats in a notch. But yah, there's like 10ish nuts holding it in.

I converted mine two weeks ago, you dont need to remove the back seat, but you do need to take off the front seatbelt bolt with a torx driver, remove all the quarter plastic and then you will see a whole bunch of little nuts that all need to come off. once they are loose just push gently on the glass and it will come out.

^^ Yes, the molding will NOT come off. You can buy a little plastic piece that basically glues over the old molding but its just covering up a problem IMO. If you do not want to do that than your old option is to either put them back in or get new windows. I paid $200 for a MINT set of quarters. I got them pretty cheap though I believe...
