From: inside
1. pull off door panel
2. unscrew 2 clips at bottom of window
3. slide window out, remove broken pieces
4. slide new window to sit on rests on mechanism
5. screw window to clips
6. replace door panel and test

all you need is a phillips screwdriver

The fastest way to remove a window

Well the fastest way to get it out would be to toss a brick at it and then use a vacuum cleaner to clean up the little pieces.

Need to make sure the window is in the down position so you can get to the 2 screws that secure it in place to the regulator. You also remove the 2 plastic retainer clips that are attached to the window before removing the window.
