Lower window. Drop tailgate. Remove bolts at the bottom of the regulator. Remove window.

Of course i tried that but, the last little bit of the window seem to be stuck in a track or something. Is there anything still holding it in?

Once you remove the 4 bolts holding the window to the regulator, the only thing that would stop you from removing the window would be the weather stripping at the top of the tailgate. That can be removed, but you have to be careful not to damage it. The easiest I have found to remove the weather stripping is to drop the window into the tailgate as far as you can, then push the weatherstripping down in to disengage it. Then pull it out.
