    Every other rear window I've ever pulled out you give it a boot from the inside out. This failed once, cause the rear window was sikaflexed in extremely hardcore and smashed into tiny pieces all over me.

    Ah,,, not like a sudden force,
    just gradual pressure, and someone on the otherside to hold it

    DUMA don't even ask your mate lol
    well rear hatch is held by a rubber.. all you need to get it out is a single hook (kinda like an L shape tool so it can get into the rubber)
    just start hooking the rubbers lip from the inside of the window from either side of the top edges putting constant pressure starting from one corner
    once you get the corner loose keep lipping around the rubber part that is loose all the way to until the top and both side is hanging out and it should pop up nicely from the bottom THUMBSUP
    and if there was originally sikaflex or polyurethane on the screen just check by using the hook to lip the outer side of the rubber (only to protect it from water leaks if the rubber wasnt giving a fully tight seal)

    hope that helps broo
