If you gently pry the bottom of the panel you can pull the panel once you get the bottom loose work your way up the sides there is a 50% chance of breaking clips but they are easy to find i believe i payed about 45 cents a clip last week when i did mine

I'd put 12v to the window motors from a battery and lower the glass - I'm sure it could be done with the widows up, but would be alot easier with them down.
