It would be easier, but I wouldn't.  If you do, you'll have to protect the windows from any spatter.

It's not that hard to install them after, just takes patience.

Do it after the panels are on.... not before.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

 :iagree:  If the glass is in, it will get weld splatter burns just like mentioned abover.

The quarter windows are easy to install.
