What car ?, most just come out easy enough, albeit fiddly after removing window channel rubbers etc, this generally allows enough sideways movement to allow them to slip out and up at a shallow angle, but a lot depends on car ?

as tabetha said, I recently broke a rs turbo and this how I done it just very fiddly but came out easy enough. iirc I tried to turn window so it faced up and down aswell gave a bit more room for removing.

Remove inside door handle, window winder and door card. From window closed open it slowly until you can see the bottom of the glass, which should have a horizontal metal bracket with a few bolts through it. A helping hand may be required to secure the top of the glass as you remove these bolts the window will be free from the winder mechanism. It may be possible to pull up and out of the door to the outside of the car.If though it is still too tight you may have to loosen the vertical window guide bolts usually 10 mm bolt heads nearest the door closer which will allow the window to slide up and out at an angle. Hope this helps, good luck
