The next task at hand was to remove the rear glass and windshield. They're both done the same way. First, you'll need to remove the trim work which isn't difficult. For both the windshield and rear glass, you'll find a union piece at the top and bottom middle of the glass. Pry one of them off. The large trim pieces that go half way around each window are simply held in place using a rubber lip on the top of the weatherstripping. Both the weatherstripping and and trim work have a groove that slip into one another to hold it in place. Take your fingers and gently start pushing the end of the trim work towards the center of the window. This should push it out of its groove. Now just work your way around the window until its removed. You'll be able to slide it out of the other union without having to remove it. Repeat for the other side and you're done.
I removed these pieces of glass the same way as the quarter window glass. In other words, I used a box cutter to cut the weatherstripping and then just popped the glass out.
The car looks considerably different without glass in it.

Easier than it looks. |
