How the heck do you remove the rear passenger glass!?

[scoodidabop]

Searched high and low with no results. Monkeyed around with some of the glass in the junkyard but there's no obvious way to remove the rear passenger glass. I got the smaller portion of the glass out by unbolting the moudling from the door panel.

It looks like the bracket is pop riveted together... is drilling those out REALLY the only way to remove that glass? Then what!? Come back in with bolts or more pop rivets to reinstall? Lame, Ford. Lame.

And if it's leaking, there's also posts about resealing the butyl tape around the glass.

Oh man I wish I was talking about that one... Those just bolt in. I wanna remove this bad boy (the one on the right, in the door):

Again I can get the smaller piece out but the main piece that's attached to the window regulator looks pop riveted in. If there's not other way to remove it than to drill the pop rivets then it's freaking stupid. Talkin about a '91 and a '93 btw.

ah ok...My manual says remove the rivets... Sorry man looks like they have to be drilled out.

Looks like the rear windows ARE pop riveted onto the regulator.

Should be fun. Maybe you can use bolts to replace them to make it easier to replace if it ever has to be done again.

Well that's really lame! Maybe I can do a pictorial on the replacement job for the board. Hope those rivets aren't too hard to drill out...
