How hard is it to remove the rear window?

How do I do it, and will anything be wrecked that can't be reused when I put it back in?

I don't really want to try and mask it off when I paint the truck.

i was able to lossen up the gasket bu using two screwdrivers and my thumbs was pretty easy started in the upper right bend of the window and worked my way across the top and down the left side first then the right side ( driver and passenger sides) had someone outside who held the window after it became loose and i popped it out real easy took maybe half hour forty five minutes to take the old one out and replace it with a slider
hey want the old window??

i think it would be easier to mask and less probability of things going wrong. but that's just me.

Old Rusty C10: Too bad you aren't closer. I would take that solid back window off your hands to replace the slider I have in mine.
