ok the back door small glass just pops out, it's a pain in the ass to put back in but you don't need to unbolt anything

the sunoof, well I'd assume you'd have to remove the roofliner but not 100% sure, I'm going to leave this to the sunroof owners

The sunroof glass is real easy. There are two trim pieces on each side of the glass that are held in by one screw (each) under a little piece of round plastic, remove the trim. Then you should see four 10mm nuts on both sides, remove them. Then push up on the glass and it will come out the top. There may be shims between the sunroof and the brackts be sure to keep track of where they go. Replace the glass in the reverse order.

If you need a sunroof glass i have one to sell.
