Default Has anyone removed Tourer rear side windows

I tried for ages to get one of a tourer today and gave up.

How do they come off? Has anyone successfully removed one?
this is the fixed read side windows not the ones in the doors

Cool

Tried to remove one from a broken ZTT. Thought about taking an angle grinder to cut the complete section out, then might be able to remove the window.
Gave up in the end.

I have never seen one removed but had one replaced a few years ago when I got a bullet (yes, really!) through the original. I understand the replacement was the complete unit and includes the rubber and trim around it as well as the 'C' pillar cover. It all came as one part so it might split where you are not expecting!

complete unit, makes sense as I could not get it apart.

But how the eck does it come out? Does it need to be broken to be removed?
I could note get between the rubber and body to use a kit for cutting it out

What are the lines in the glass for? I think they are only on one side.
