Default How to remove the glass from the rear doors?

Obviously the door needs to be somewhat disassembled. I have completely stripped door - no window regulator, no even handles/locks. I can't figure out a way how to finagle the window to come out. Should the window frame needs to be removed somehow? There are no videos on Youtube showing the rear windows.
The front windows are easy and takes really 10-15 minutes to come out. But the rear ones - not the same case.

Is the window totally free from any attachments? If it is then remove the C pillar glass guide and pull the glass straight up and the outside of the car.

Removing the inner window seal can help alleviate some pressure on the glass; it sure did on the fronts anyway. It should just pull right off.

I believe that the bolts that pinch the clamps that hold the bottom of the glass are left-hand threads (it's been awhile, so please go slow and don't snap the bolt off!).

The door is empty. There is no more regulator inside, no lock or door handle. Only the glass and the upper frame left. The frame is still with the rubber/felt insert.

I removed the fronts very easily after I unclamped the clamps holding the glass. I didn't need to remove the window seals. Window popped out in a couple of seconds.

Can you detail the steps needed to remove the front door glass?
