240 sedan roof liner removal. 200 1990

In the wagon, the side and rear windows are held in only by their rubber gaskets. You remove each of them by lying down inside the wagon and using one of your well-shod feet to push steadily on that window, with slowly-increasing force, near one of the window's corners. Eventually, the gasket pops out at that corner and you can work your way around the perimeter, assuming you have someone out there to catch the window when it comes completely free. Before doing that to the rear window, you disconnect the window-heat wires.

No guarantee that that technique would work without breakage on a sedan rear window, but I have found the automobile window glass I have dealt with to far to be remarkably strong.

Reinstalling such windows is relatively easy, using a cord in the gasket slot to pull the gasket (and therefore the window) in over the lip of the window frame. Again , you need someone outside to hold it while you work the cord around the perimeter of the gasket. That technique is covered in detail elsewhere.

But if you can find a way to do the insulation job without removing the window, that would be my choice.
