There are definitely some variables. At the very least, make sure to buy precision window gaskets. This is a must!! The cheaper gaskets don't work well at all. If you don't have trim, order a gasket for no trim and the install should be a piece of cake. If you do have trim, make sure to get the appropriate gasket. If you want to use or re-use the trim it is more difficult for the front window installation. The trim tries to pop out while tucking the inner lip. It's nice to have two guys on the outside holding the trim and slightly pushing on window and one guy on the inside tucking the lip.

Also, there are two different kinds of trim. Deep channel and shallow channel. If you can re-use your old trim that is best. The aftermarket stuff is a lighter weight
stainless and does not fit as well as original. Good luck when the time comes.
