Sorry no photos today, but I had to remove (almost) all my everyday carry, and very carefully climb up the driver’s side. I had to observe my weight distribution as well, not looking to break the sunroof or the windshield obviously.
I only brought one of my EDC tools, my NexTool card tool. That was enough to loosen up the antenna and unscrew it the rest of the way by hand.
How would I even grab it, even with said sort of tool?
The glass is indeed totally intact, but also totally fallen down in the door, nothing accessible to even get a suction cup onto…
Hell, where I am with it, I think the only viable option is somewhere between duct tape and wax paper, gotta figure out how to grip and pull the glass up in less than 2 millimeters of a gap…
I’m not sure how everything looks behind your door card but most of the ones I’ve popped off have some plastic as a moisture barrier (newer cars anyway), and a pretty big opening where you can touch the glass to access the window motors/etc. If you could get a suction cup on the glass through that hole, then you might be able to use it to lift upward.
The duct tape and wax paper could work too, but in that case you’d need to remove the weather strip from where the glass goes into the door to get a little more access. Then I would use a piece of wax paper and duct tape to slide as far as I could down the window, pull the wax paper off the tape through the access (behind the door card), and cross my fingers that a single strip of tape will hold while slowly pulling upward.
The accessibility hole is barely big enough to stick my dick in. I say that in jest, but not in jest either. The service hole is rather small…
