Sounds farkin tight. I come in from the body side of the rubber. Peel the rubber back with my fingers, push the knife across, then down. Once the knife is in you pry it out while someone is inside using their feet to put pressure on. Just remember to put the knife in the body side of the rubber or youll be trying to push the window back in. On really tight windows, i can see the advantage of putting 2 or 3 knives in on each side. Have a person on each knife prying, while the person inside puts pressure on.
Hope that helps if yo havnt already done it

What locking strip. With my TG I just pushed at the top corner then the top in the middle then the other top corner then just pulled the whole window out. Worked on front and back.

Try peeling the rubber away from the body all the way around the window on the inside and outside to find where it is stuck then work on that area
