remove door card etc, and the 2 straight window rubbers that sandwich glass at base of window.
the rest is from memory so excuse me if incorrect, lower the motor to near bottom limit then you should see 2 arms off motor fitting to bottom of glass, these can be gently prised off with large screwdriver etc, there basically a spherical ball push fitted into plastic grommett so will be a tight fit but do lever out.
