Help With Glass Replacement?

If anyone can give me tips on how to replace a driver's side quarter panel window that would help me out a ton! My window got busted out recently and I'm nervous that my car could get stolen. I ordered a quarter glass, window seal, and adhesive but am not sure how to change out the glass. I haven't been able to find any instructional guides online yet and only found in my manual how to replace the windshield. Supposedly you can run a screwdriver along the seal to break it and then just use ropes as a pulley to somehow pop in the new glass. Autoglass replacement companies have been giving me the runaround or/and hiked up prices so I'd like to try to replace it myself but just need to know more on how to do that. Any information would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

To remove the quarter glass you will have to take out the inside plastic panel. Push the center of the plastic rivets through, try to save them. Remove the 4 screws holding the frame in. You can now disassemble the frame. As for the windsheild, let the pros do it. It's easily broken and if the pros break it or it leaks, they have to fix it.
