Red face Removing side windows in my '28 Coupe

How are the side windows removed from the stated car? I have the regulator out and also the window channel seals. It doesn't want to come out of the top or bottom. Do I need to remove the lower, metal glass channel? If so, where do I go from there? Which way does it come out? What's the trick?

The top of the door has I think 4 screws to remove top door cap.. Window should then push out the top...

I have everything removed... but, there's no room for the side window to come out, top or bottom. Its too long and wide to come out of either hole. Am I missing something here? Please help.

I removed the window on a 30 Coupe as Milo said, by removing the top plate and lifting the glass straight up and out.

doesn't the inside complete garnish molding have to come off then raise the glass, and bring it in towards the inside of the car to remove.

I also removed both of my 29 coupe windows as Milo said. Worked great except one of them had a rusted bottom metal that I had to compress to get it up past the bottom of the window opening.
