There are several stamped tin speed nuts on those studs.
They may be buried in sealer and hard to see.
Remove them and the windows will push out.

Yes, just as Blake said. Be aware that the chrome trim is separate from the window itself, and is attached via those pins that the speed nuts are on. Try to push firmly on the window to start, not the pins. If you push too hard the wrong way on the pins, you could snap the trim. Cut away any butyl 'strings' as you go, that stuff is clingy as hell.
Do you have to push really hard cus i put alot of pressure on it trying to push it out and it didnt really feel like it moved ,and yes i have the speed nut out.and tryed heating the inside lightly with a torch on really low to soften buttle.9
Sounds like there may still be one or two nuts hiding under the sealer...
Once they're all out, a good push should do the trick.

Yes, should be six nuts, 1 top center, 1 bottom center, and 2 on each side. Maybe some VERY light tapping on the trim pins evenly all around to get that backing out too.
Edit: looking at mine today and it seems there is 5 nuts not 6. There is not one at bottom center.
Will try to post a pic tomorrow for anyone reading this in future
