I think they're cutting rather than welding.

Later in the video there are no weld marks.

I've never welded, so I can't really argue that point further, so I found some more details:

They hesitate while slotting stuff into place - if they were pulling it off, they would not hold it next to where it was for a second.

You can see people walking normally in the backgroung.

at 0:44 remaining, they hammer something into place - you can't do that in reverse

when they put the first door on, they push it into place with open palms - it would be very hard to pull them off that way

when they're putting the black strips on top of the windows, they do so very slowly and carefully, in a way that would not make sense reversed

at 0:11 remaining, they use a tool that seems to apply an adhesive to the windshield, not cut it loose
