Advice on getting the back window out

I need some advice on getting the back window out of my pickup. I dont want to brake it in the process. So, what have you guys done???

On a side note, I'm supprised at how easy the windshield came out. One kick and it was lying on the motor.

I've always used rope, guitar string etc. Just get it started and have a buddy help pull it around and catch the window.

Plastic pry tools, and a clothes line sized rope. If you can get the rope thru to the other side it's cake... Are you saving the cab?

I got mine out really carefully with a big flat head screwdriver, by pulling the weather stripping down and then pushing it through. It was surprisingly easy to get back in the same way. If it's been glued/sealed in at all it'll be a lot harder, but as was said, the string tool is the way to do it.

What I ended up doing was pushing the weather stripping under the window on one corner. Once I got it started I just pulled the window out. It popped right out. Thanks for the help guys.
