Tinting small window in rear door

I am doing a DIY tint job on my '01 GLE. Was about to do the small window in the rear door but it is mostly obstructed by the moulding around it. Can that moulding or window come out easily to make the whole process easier?

You should be able to slide the tint right under it without a problem. Just make sure you measure it from the outside of the window correctly. As for popping them out, I'm sure there's a way I just don't know how that would be done. I took my windows to get tinted. Not enough experience to do it myself. Haha

I had my car tinted by a shop and I watched them do some parts of it. Like Toxic! said when they did that window they measured and cut from the outside and then slid it in on the inside. Then you can take a credit card (they had a special squeegee tool but a card is fine) and maneuver it around to get the bubbles out of the edge where the glass and molding meet.
