no special tools really , once the bottom and middile is undone ,there are large screws at the door pull that go to the shell , push the panel up towards the sky and it should pop right off , just dont force too hard as you may not see all of the clips and screws the first time ,
the regulator is what probably broke

keep us informed

Suggested Repair

No special tools are needed. Remove the lower and middle fasteners, including the large screws at the door pull, then lift the panel upward so the clips release. Do not force it if clips or screws remain. The window regulator is the likely failure.

The expert said no special tools are required: remove the lower and middle fasteners and the large screws at the door pull, then push the panel upward to release the clips without forcing it. The expert suspected a broken window regulator.
