2 minute job mate
take the door panel off and find the 2 10mm bolts which hold the glass in.Undo them and pull it up.

the rears you will have to take the quarter window bar out to get the window out but its only a pozi screw inside the rubber at the top of the door

As for the sunrrof probably best to pull the roof liing down and remove it complete with rails etc

I did try to do this once...  I used a hot knife (dont laugh)  I heated the knife up and pushed it in to melt through the seal... worked well untill i got to the bottom...  then i had to prise it apart and snap goes the windscreen.
