    Guys is there a way to “close” the rear window all the way up when the roof is open so my installer can put window tint all the way to the top edge.

    When open the window only closes like 40% of the way.

    ok so I just removed the side and centre panes and took the glass out, 15 minute job out and 15min in. window now tinted correctly.

    steps as follows:

    1. remove the cover with the speaker in, one bolt under the runner trim on the door sill, just listen the screw no need to remove and push back and tilt and clip out.
    2. remove the top cover - three screws one under the rubber trim in the top outer corner, one you can see and one on the inside lower down facing the outside of the car.
    3. do the same the opposite side
    4. now the centre cover - 4 screws underneath and 2 on each side behind the top cover you removed.
    5. the hear up the weather vapour shield and peel corners back, also peel back the centre at the bottom so you can access the heated window cable and unclip it
    6. screw the window loose at each corner and you done
    7. reassemble in reverse
    some pics attached so you can see what's behind,
