remove the fixed window, there are 2, 8mm bolts behind the front seat belt, one is behind a round cap, the other is behind the hook thingy at the top of the pillar

the pop out has it's own rubber seal which is obvious to fit in place of the fixed window rubber then the pop out fixes back in place using the 2 nuts which you removed from the fixed window,
that bit is the 'hinge'

next you will need to fit the opener/handle this uses 2 body nuts which fit behind the headling on the back pillar 'you need to pull back the 'lining' to get them in place then fit the 2 screws

hope this helps !

It's not a propitious beginning for that car if pop-out windows is the first thing on your mind...
