Hand pushing rear window glass out of blue vehicle, text reads P…

This is where I prefer to start removing the side windows. Some silicone spray lube between the rubber & paint makes it easier, but don't use any petrochemical or penetrating oil. Break all the rubber free from the paint (inside & out) before beginning so it's easier for it to slip out as you work.

Note the integral steel roll bar in the rear lip of the fiberglass camper shell is bolted to the body on '92-96 Broncos.

Push as close as possible to the EDGE of the glass; pushing in the middle will shatter it. If you're not sure, WEAR GLOVES. But it's tempered safety glass, and stronger than you'd think. It can tolerate some bending, but work up & down the length of the window so you're not bending it much.
