How do you safely remove the driver side windowr? The tracks need adjusting and cleaned but do not know how to get the window out. Thanks.

Remove the door trim panel and the inner panel water deflector.
Raise or lower the window, as applicable, to the half-up position.

Make sure to properly support the window. If the window drops into the door personal injury or window damage may result.

Support the window in the position needed to access the rivets by inserting rubber wedge door stops at the front and rear of the window between the window and inner door panel.

Use a 1 / 4 in. (6mm) bit to drill out the attaching rivets on the sash channel.
Carefully raise the glass to remove from the sash channel, then remove the glass from the door.

First, roll the window all the way down. Then you need to remove the door panel and everything that will get in your way. (Switches, wiring, etc.)

Then there are two bolts that hold the bottom of the window to the metal frame of the window regulator.

Remove them and pull the window straight up.

EASY!
