Follow through as I explain how to remove the triangle window from the rear doors of a 4 door 4Runner.
1. Pull the weatherstripping back slightly just above the top rear corner of the donor door above the glass retention rail and using a philipps screwdriver remove the top screw.

2. Roll the main window all the way down.

3. Use a philipps screwdriver to loosen the inner door release handle trim screw.
4. Push the inner door release handle trim either forward or backwards to release it from the door panel and expose the pull rod and plastic L-clip.
5. Remove the inner door release handle trim by removing the actuator rod and then slightly opening the lever pull the handle trim off.
6. Using a small standard tip screwdriver remove the trim caps from the two armrest holes.
7. Using (this depends on the parts spec for what was used) either a 10mm socket, or a large phillipps remove the two bolts that attach the armrest and door panel to the door.
8.1 If the door glass is manually operated, push on the door panel and expose the gold zinc coated spring/c-clip that slides into two slots on the inside of the window crank arm. Use a piece of bent wire or small pliers to pull the spring/c-clip off and the handle now loose will simply pull off.
8.2 If the door glass is electrically operated you pull the frontmost portion of the window switch panel up and forwards to remove it, expose the electrical connector, and disconnect the electrics.
9. Using a small tape covered crowbar end to pop the 10-13 assorted plastic panel clips to release the panel.
10. Lifting the door panel in a forward and upwards motion carefully release the top trim from the top edge of the door panel, be careful, this area has some sharp edges.

11. Remove the rear portion of the plastic dirt shielding by heating the black tar up with a hair dryer for a little bit at a time so it'll be reusable.
12. Once the dirt shield is removed you'll see the lower portion of the glass retention rail with two specific 10mm bolts.

14. Carefully, starting from the middle of the upper door glass strip pull it outwards and down all the way to the glass retention rail.

15. Wiggle and slide out the glass retention rail and do the same for the triangle glass surround sliding it forwards and slightly upwards to remove it.
16. Reverse the process to reinstall everything. Now is a good time to clean all the debris and dirt out along with lubricating the moving parts. :thumbup:
If anyone wants to reactivate my permissions I'll convert it over for final print if it's all clear enough. Let me know if any more specific steps and associated pictures should be included for clarity's sake.
