    do a general search on "windshields" many post on this topic that should answer your questions.

    You can take the door panels off is a flat pry bar. We called them wonder bars or crow bars. Just be sure to be right on the little clip, or it'll bend the board. I'm sure there's a specialty too for this, but I've always done mine with a pry bar or screw driver. You just have to be very careful and patient. If it looks like it's starting to bend, you'll have to reposition and try again.
