Angry fixed rear windows removal

How does one remove the rear quarter window and hatch window? Don't say they just pop out either, they are glued or sealed in. I read the 5 threads tthat popped up when I searched for this topic and everyone who has no experience keeps saying they just pop out while one lonely person commented they are indeed put in with some type of sealant. I am trying to pull all the broken glass out of the seals so I can try and pull the good glass from the donor zj and reinstall but that sealant is so dang strong I am unable to remove the shard. I also found out the window seal is glued on with the same sealant adhesive and you have to cut it off.

So, how do I get the good donor windows off to put onto the good recipient zj?

Sheet metal? Or Is it illegal to cover the rear Quater panel Windows? The spare tire covers the driver side one pretty much completely

I don't think its illegal to cover those windows. That could also vary from state to state. In some, you might end up having to put commercial plates on the vehicle. Ask at your local DMV for a correct answer.
