PBoniface asks:

Can anyone give advice on removing the side and rear windows (and putting them back afterwards).
Gotta swap the side window for a louvred one and put cheesy dark film on the others...
The haynes manual ony mentions the windsscreen and the rear window... and even then.. says "dont do it"
Is there an "easier" not necesarily easy way..

Cheers.

Its an easy job ,but u need to get a mate to help u , take a broad flat blade blunt as poss ,as u need to use this 
from the inside (asumeing your windows are factory fitted without chrome or black inserts on the outside ) start in 
one corner and you r trying to push the window rubber back over the metal edge its covering (just tuck it back in a little
behind the window edg , apply a little force to the glass to create the gap to tuck it in ! do this al the way round by the
time u have reached halfway you will prolly b able to push it out while your mate catches it on the otherside ,to re fit 
it get some cord bout 1/4 in thick and tightly wound ,put the rubber back on the glass and insert the cord in the rubber 
offerit up to the window hole and while your assistant pushes verry hard on the glass in the area that you r pulling the 
cord (inside the van ) the rubber lip will end up on the inside ,once u have done one then you will see its not hard to do,
you just need an assistant,try taking one out and putting it back,when ur confident do the others do it on a warm day so 
the rubbers are soft and plyable or use a hairdryer to soften them ,oh and if ur limo blacking them yourself ,use one of 
those plant sprayer things and realy soak the film and the glass as u peel of the backing , hope u can follow this i am 
not a tecnical writer but you get the drift and sorry bout the typos !
