Default How to remove bonded C pillar window

Hi, my '98 XJR has a leak at the rear quarter window on the right hand side. I gather this is a bonded window and will need to be removed and resealed. Does anyone have any info on how the surrounding trim comes out?

The car is currently off the road and we're in Covid restrictions, so some tools from Amazon are a great deal easier than a mobile windscreen fitter and I always like to learn new skills.

Thanks

May I suggest downloading the X308 Workshop Manual, it will help you with a lot of what your asking. It can't be posted here because the file is too large. https://www.dropbox.com/s/vujkjrxklu...anual.pdf?dl=0

These are from the Manual...

On the earlier XJ40 cars, those windows were almost impossible to remove.
I spent a whole day trying and broke 2, and gave up.
I hope yours goes better.
