Rear window removal on a 2door e30

[320Touring]

Time has come to remove the rear window on the iS- what is the best way to go about it without damaging the demister wires?

what side do the wires run up?

I usually do glass removal with a ball-peen so any less destructive ideas would be welcomed

pull out the 2 metal holders which are fitted on the outside lower corners.Pull out the centre upper and lower seal trims,unplug the 2 demister wires (one in each lower corner),then with the aid of a friend on the outside to catch the glass,gentally push out from the inside.

No probs mate.Only thing is getting it back in.
The plastic trim peices are a pain to get back in.You need a proper tool to put them in,but you can get away with using various blunt objects as long as your carefull.And plenty of fairy liquid !!
