a F150 related painting question

I have a A.R.E. 'Z' series camper shell that needs a repaint on my Supercrew. Can anyone tell me if the windows are removable or should I just paint around them as best possible?

but...

There is not metal frame on the outside, just glass. And fiberglass tucks behind it some. This is a color change so I really want to cover all the RED with white to match my truck.

Their web site is dedicated to selling product and does nothing to provide help

take it to a bodyshop if you cant figure it out. look in the inside of the topper. Look for a number on the site to call, and ask questions...

I have the same cap and there are a bunch of screws on the glass on the inside frame work and they may hold the glass in place. The pop out vent windows only have a few screws, The rear widow comes off easy...

I removed all the screws and the inside frame came off. The windows still would not budge. I even gave a few taps with a rubber hammer. Body shop got it as is and will tape around it.

If an actual body shop is doing the work, I wouldn't worry about it. A good shop knows what they are doing and will do it right for you.
