No easy way. You'll have to remove the door panels.

Dude how can the window possibly be in the way if it is rolled all the way up Remove the door panel, and stick your arms in the big holes and remove it, not cool calling people an *** for trying to help, do a search on your own if you are going to be so abusive.

He can't get a door handle off & you want him to try removing the window?!lol
Seriously, All you need is a long wrench and you should be able to reach it. The glass should be a good 2" away from it.

Put down the ratchet and pick up a wrench. Go back to the door and try again.

Easiest to just drill a hole thru the glass. That way the socket and extension will fit.

I've done this quite a few times myself, and if you can't figure it out, then you should really have someone else do it.

wow. everybody needs to chill out.
so maybe he didn't think of using a wrench at first. telling him to use wrench is all he needs not a bunch of trach talking.

good luck getting the handle off I'm sure you'll find it easy once you go at it with a wrench.

If you look, I believe he started the name calling.
Glad you got it off.
