Not done it on a Scoob before, but its pretty straightforward if you can get the door trim panel off without breaking the clips! Once inside, the ones I've done have had the glass bolted to brackets inside the door. Just unbolt and wiggle it until free.
Saying that, frameless doors might be different (and maybe easier as there's nothing in the way). I have done an MR2 once with frameless doors and lining it up afterwards was tricky.

I got autoglass out to do mine, as it's a PITA to undo the hangers n windy/scissor bar things that hold the glass in place. Then once bolted up, you have to somehow align it with the top of the door/roof. Except there isn't anything to align with as it's a frameless door.
Getting the door card off is the easy part. Oh n dont forget a vacuum cleaner for all the broken glass it gets everywhere
