Unwind the window about half way down. Undo the screws from the window rgulator, and slide the regulator out of its retainer at the base of the window whilst pushing the window back up by hand from the bottom. Remove the regulator.
Remove the nut holding the base of the window channel between the window & the quarter vent. If you can wind the bolt in this will be helpful but usually they are stuck. Gently let the window drop to the bottom of the door, then flex the channel away from the window until the glass is free.
Now you should be able to remove the glass without scratching it.
