Quarter window replacement
hello awesome g35 owners, I just picked up another g35 but It’s quarter window is shattered. It’s still there but shattered and might completely break at one point . I can just put a layer of black film/tint and it will hold. But I can get my hands on a used quarter window for $30! So I’m not going to cheap out and just replace it . I know how to put it on with some 3M window glue , but I just don’t know how to take it off. I might have to remove the inside quarter panel and outer trim but I’m lost after that.

I usually cheat, use painters tape EDIT: ORANGE painters tape, not blue, you need the sticky stuff... and tape up the back of the window on the inside of the vehicle, then use a glass breaker and shatter it, tape holds all the pieces together and it's quick and easy for small windows like that.
Then you can use a razor knife to remove the adhesive around the window instead of those cable glass removers which require two people and are a pita and you don't have to screw with interior plastic covers.

Auto glass adhesive, typically they're urethane, should be able to find it locally at a parts house but you could also just call around to a local auto glass shop and buy a tube from them. It will be WAY more than you need since those guys are only going to have normal caulk gun size tubes.
They might have a half-tube they'll sell for cheap too.
