Does anybody know how exactly to remove door glass outa frame? I know I have to unscrew 2 bolts and have glass down about halfway. I don't get what's next. FSM is confusing me. Thanks!

P.S.
Did forum search and didn't find any solutions.

================================
the glass is actually clamped in place -

remove the door panel - and moisture barrier -

roll the window at least half way down -
you will see 2 clamps at the top of the regulator -

loosen the clamps -
hold the glass -
roll the window down -
remove the glass -

-------------------

if you are removing the regulator -
you do not have to remove the glass -

----------------------

Let the regulator about 1/2 to 3/4 the way down.

Once the clamps are loosened up, wedge the door assembly between your legs.

With the glass 1/2-3/4 of the way down, the rearward part of the glass (closest to the rear door) should be sticking up.

Pull up on the glass and THEN LEAN IT FORWARD TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR.

DON'T DROP THE GLASS.

Pull the glass up outside the door frame closest to you.

Reinsertion is the same EXCEPT, you have to make sure you clear the weather stripping and not damage it
