well, if you take the door panel off, and can see weather the window is held on by screws or rivets, that is when you will know if its hard or not.

Screws it should be pretty basic, but with rivets you have to drill em out, grind off the remaining part and then re rivet them in later.

I used to work at a wrecking yard and when we had to take out riveted in windows it was a bitch and thats with the door off  and not worrying about anything else but the window.

hope someone else can help you more, its cold out and you are far away...

The window is held on at the bottom of the glass by 2 fasteners, I'm pretty sure they're screws but I when my window broke I had someone else do the swap.  Just undo them, and the glass should come up and out, if not you might need to take some weather strip off.

Yeah, tempered windows will take alot of abuse as long as you don't hit them with anything sharp and hard on the edge.
