Window troubles on my FB, any advice?

Took my friend for a ride in my FB and he cranked the window down all the way -> it fell off the runner -> bummer.

Is there a way to get that guy up without pulling the panel, or do I need to remove the trim entirely? Is there any GOOD way to do this?

Thanks for your help. She's up for inspection by the end of the month so I'd really like to get on it!!

You'll need to pull the door card. It's pretty easy. If all of the bolts are in place, the window will not fall out of the track.

Yanking the door card is your best bet. Make sure not to crank on it too hard or you'll break the metal clips off of the cardboard door cards, so be careful!
