Yes, very carefully.

In all seriousness, I've removed it before and it was a major pain in the ****. I removed the window trim, the trim on the inside, took the screw out on the vertical divider between the rear window and small window in question and pushed it to the right as much as possible. I then very slowly pulled, twisted, yanked on the rear window and it eventually came out. I did it w/o even removing the rear door panel.

If I had to do it again, I'd look at the FSM first and follow the directions there. I wouldn't do my approach again for fear of breaking or bending something.

My suggestion is to download the FSM for free and follow whatever they suggest.

based on doing other nissans and the post above mine the easiest way is prolly just taking off the door panel and pulling the window first. it should be easy with no risk of shattering your window.
