you don't*...but after you have taken an E53 door panel off about 15 times...it goes quick...
- Take off door panel, peel back vapor barrier, disconnect glass from regulator, prop up window with a piece of PVC pipe...preferably notched at top to hold glass.
T-25 (t-30?) to remove panel
1 panel shim tool to help with panel and vapor barrier
10m socket driver /ratchet to separate glass.
PVC pipe and maybe a small saw to cut it..
* Actually there are a few reports (Rob Siegel - Hack Mechanic) of folks just grabbing glass the pliers (carefully) to pull it up, then jamming wedges of wood, etc. to keep glass up...no removal of panels...But this has never worked for me...usually the cables won't allow it..
