    There are 3 bolts that hold the side windows in, the hatch window is held in via the gasket. Use a string to pull the gasket and push the window from the hatch. Htchback can give more details on the hatch window removal.

      i did it with a small prybar to work around the inside hatch seal just to break it loose, then started at a top corner and slowly worked along the seam while pushing out gently to peal the glass AND seal out. took me about 10 min to do it.

        The wing window has three screws. The front two are under caps that cover the hinges. Pry them up with a flathead and unscrew with a Phillips. Rear one is held with one phillips head screw. Easy peasy

          ^^ This... plus a little bit of dish soap mixed with water helps to reinstall
          No festiva for me ATM...

            Correct, if possible just remove the hinge from the body.
            Otherwise pay close attention to the rubber washer seals as to how they go together/assembled, if you have to disassemble/remove them from the glass.
            If you get them out of order the side windows do not like to latch down.
