The interior trim on the doors should just pull off after unscrewing the arm rest ect. Trick for the window winders is rotate the winder upwards, use an old towel and shove it inbewtween the winder and the door and rotate winder back and forwards till it jams and pops off. Then for the front windows just wind it down and undo the screws on the window tabs. For the rear windows you have to unscrew the middle strut that supports both windows (3 screws i think, one is under the rubber at the top). Then proceed to working out the smaller window first. Hope this helps, have fun dude.

You till need a window guy to get out the front one.

I have exploded the window in my younger years by pushing, peeling and cutting the rubber.

Unless someone knows of another way.

The back window you should be able to peel the rubber out and push it out. I have heard of ppl using thin rope to help with running round the rubber and the frame of the car

Can anyone add correct procedures?

Front Windscreen: Will need one of these

or similar in order to cut the urethane that holds the windscreen in. Be careful even with the correct tools it is very easy to crack a windscreen.

Rear Windscreen: You need to "pop" the window out of the rubber. We used to do it with one person inside pushing outwards on the upper two corners with their feet (trying to keep feet as flat as possible so the pressure is a bit more spread out). Then a second person on the outside would lightly press against the windscreen in the same spot that the feet were pressing out, purely to attempt to reduce the flexing of the windscreen.

The thin rope that dexi mentioned was used to put "rubber seal" type windows back in, but that isn't to say there isn't another use for it that I am unaware of.

I hope this helps. As I mentioned be careful, even with correct tools and procedures it is easy to break a windscreen. If you are intending to replace the rubbers that hold the rear one in, I'd even think about using a Stanley blade to cut as much of the rubber away as you can before attempting to remove it.
