most cars you usually turn the glass about 45* to get it out, if that makes sense

ive done windows on other cars before so its not a completely new concept.. just never done one on my/our body style trucks.. those 02 body style impalas are nice and easy, lol i could those in a couple min.s.. as long as i can get some glass for cheap ill attempt to swap em out.. granted it will only be for a few mins. then i swap back to my orig glass.
