Default Best way of removing opening rear quarter windows on a Escos

Anyone got a good method? I'm trying to remove this tinting film and got most of it off, but can't get off the bits round the three mounting points, so I need to take them off.

Thanks for that Glenn, are you saying remove the screws on the brackets on the front mounts rather than remove the two bolts that go through the window, because I think I've done this before on another car and then not been able to put the screw back in because something fell down inside the pillar.
