There are five (5) unlatching points:
[ul][*]Above each sun visor[*]On the two mid door posts just in front of the real window[*]And the real lock which is operated by the lever under the left rear window.[*]You will need or should have a metal 'L" shaped lever for this purpose.[*]YOu also need to unplug the electrical connector for the rear window defroster. It should be on either the left or right door post area plugging downward from the roof.[/ul]Depending upon condition getting the locks to function properly can be difficult. Especially, the rear lock. Mine would stick and require numerous attempts.
