First of all you have to remove the interior trim, the glass and pillar have a fixation with nuts.

Success.

So such as the headliner? or how and what needs to be removed inside?

how much would the dealer charge to remove the 2 rear?

is it a big deal to remove the rear pillars i have doen minor work on the cayennes

Only the side trim must be removed, replacement rear pillars = approx. 2.00 h. of labour for a experienced person.

Dealer will ask at leas 2,5 hours for rem\reinstall rear glasws only.

Really you do not need remove all windows, C pillar trims fixed on double side tape on surface and two plastic clamps on front edge. From my practice I know no possible to install new part as strong as original one installed, we allways add some glue to adhesive tape.

If you have one glass removed to see inside - you can see how to carefully remove original part and glue new one with pu sealant witout any works on interior trims.

Hello! No, inner c pillar trim not enought (or not nessesary, do not remember). You should remove side trims of trunk and d pillars first.

Regards.
