Default Know about cab leaks?

On the one hand I hope you haven't had experience with this, but on the other, I hope someone can give some advise. My '98 4X2 supercab (4x1 actually. Why do they even sell trucks w/o limited slip?) that I've had since '99 has developed a water leak from somewhere around the upper rear window. I live in the Seattle area, so this is no small matter. I was shocked to find green mold growing on the seatbelts the other day. I run a home dehumidifier in there now to dry it out, but the leak remains.

So here's the question: Does the rear window just unbolt? Can I reseal it myself? How do I get the outside trim off w/o damaging it? Or do I take it to a auto glass shop? Any thoughts?

Kind of a pain to take the glass out but this picture should show you what you are in for, the green circles are the nuts that have to come off.

In my past experience, I suggest that you simply take the truck into a window place and tell them to R and R the seal. This is a lot easier on the pocket book than splitting the glass while trying to remove the seal. Just my 2 cents worth.
