It's not a big deal at all. I need more details, what your problem is. I just did it on my X-Type. Also: Front or rear door window?
In short: remove door trim (some screws - there are probably only 3 - are hidden underneath plastic covers.
park window approx. 10-15cm below top, loosen the 2 window bolts below, remove inner and outer window lip, pull out the glass via the outside. And reverse back in.

I think I might have mentioned something about getting the window in and out, but not in much detail, as it is really easy, in my thread:

Just don't drop the window-glass and don't tighten the 2 window bolts too tight (it would break the glass) and make sure the glass sits in the rubber correctly on the bottom.

I think we are talking past each other here?
Are you talking about the small fixed window in the back door? Or the window that has a regulator that most of these posts are about?

Maybe a picture would help?

Hi again. The problem is that I cannot slide the window into the door frame no matter which angle I attempt. I tried front corner first, rear corner first, from the inside of the door, from the outside. I just cannot get it into the door. I removed the door panel and the inside weather stripping from the window and still can't seem to get it to slide in. Thanks.

I assume you have removed the inner and outer top lips (seals) of the door frame? So it is the rear passenger door (either I over read the word "rear", or you put that word into your question afterwards...). Well, I have not played with the rear windows yet, But if you got it out, you should get it in - from top down coming from the outside.

I got it! Thanks so much. Any tricks for getting the rubber weather stripping back on the top of the door frame? I can't seem to get it to stay
