Put the rear window in the down position.
There are 4 screws holding on the door panel. Take out the ash tray, the plastic plug on the top of the door pull and the plastic insert under the door handle to access them.
After removing those screws, pop off the door panel. Disconnect the two wiring harnesses. With the rear window down you will see the tow bolts connecting the rear window to the regulator. Take those out and let the rear window rest inside the door.
You will now need to loosen the black pillar between the rear window and vent window. You will notice two bolts holding the pillar in place. Remove those bolts. There is also a screw at the top of the pillar, underneath the rubber. Do not take the rubber out, just use a small flat screwdriver to hold it back while you loosen the screw with a phillips head.
At this point the pillar should be loose, pull it down and push it foreward in order to loosen it. I needed to also take the rear window out in order to reinstall the vent "break-in" window.
The vent window rubber will just fall out, and the new vent window will simply slide in and then be held tight by reinstalling the black pillar.
*Probably $20-$40 for vent window from boneyard.
*Make sure to get the rear window back on both tracks when reinstalling.
*Don't tighten regulator bolts too tight.

Maybe I'm seeing things but with the curve sloping to the left and window bowing out that looks like a passenger rear....but maybe I'm missing something.
