Remove the glass from the carrier plate, and while holding the glass, lower the carrier plate alone to the lowest position.
CAUTION: Without the carrier plate lowered to the bottom most position, do not lower the glass by itself to the lowest position within the door panel. Otherwise the glass may come off of the sash and become damaged.
Lower the glass slowly to the bottom most position in the door panel.
Remove the bolts and nuts, and then remove the sash. (Remove the upper attachment point first.)
