1935 Tudor Rear Side Window Removal

I have the window moulding, indoor side panel, and regulator removed. When I replaced the front door window, I was able to tilt the top of the pane in and pull it in and up to remove it. That doesn't work here at the back side window as I run interference either at the front or back depending how I position the pane. I tried rotating the pane 90 degrees but then I run into interference at the top. Does anyone know the secret handshake?
 
I'll answer my own question. Hopefully, this will assist someone in the future who encounters the same situation.

I wanted to disturb the headliner as little as possible and by so doing, failed to see that there is a piece of structure at the top rear corner that can be removed with three screws that greatly improves access. See the pictures. This still was not quite enough and I ended up removing the front vertical channel (pried out from between bendable tabs).
