1. No, you don’t have to remove the door panels.
2. No need to lower the glass.
3. Unhook the metal strips just below the glass on the outside. The rubber is attached to those. The metal strips are held snug to the door on each end, except in the front – in which case they go under the mirror. They are also held by rails on the top of the doors. They’re seated on pretty good. On the front doors just straighten the tabs at the back of the metal pieces and pry up starting from the back above the door handles. Carefully pry up with a large screw driver with something under your pry spot to protect the paint. Just work your way toward the front and it will pop off.
What I did was cut the old rubber off the metal with a utility knife right on top of the groove which holds the rubber, bent up the metal where it’s indented on each end, and then slid the remaining piece of rubber out.
Before I slid in the new piece of rubber into the metal I sprayed the receiving groove on the metal with spray silicon lubricant and then sprayed a little more when the rubber got bound up from the sliding rubber.
