You need a glass shop to do this, it must be removed with special skills and tools and glued back in place.

You have to remove the rubber moulding that holds it in place. I would highly suggest a windshield/glass shop for this repair so no moulding/paint damage occurs

Most cars have "pry off" spring button connectors see u-tube

RTM yet? read the fsm?

see body section? READ it first then ask questions. best of best.
