Tasks like this are usually entrusted to a body shop, but it is possible to carry them out independently. With just a few appropriate-sized sockets and screwdrivers, you can easily complete the job. Start by removing the internal handle and the perimeter clips, then take off the inner door panel.

From here, proceed to dismantle all the electrical components present and the window regulator, thus freeing the mentioned glass from obstructions and allowing it to be pulled out from the top and removed from the door.
