2006 Colt Hatch- rear left passenger door Window removal process?
Hello everyone, new member here.
My bful partner has a much loved 2006 Colt hatch auto named Himiko.
Unfortunately the rear left passenger door electric window’s - two red clips, that fix to it and the lifting regulator, have snapped.
i’m in process of replacing them but want to know the process of sliding that window up and out from the door. I’ve dabbled but it remains a mystery.
I’d like to give it a go.
My partner is my intern in all these “let’s try fix it” adventures. I bounce ideas off her and usually … we work well together like that.
Any advice or links to visuals is gratefully accepted.

Worked out my own solution … mayb ;D
In case someone comes across this topic long after I’m gone, I’d like to potentially provide my own solution, which up to this point in time simply is not easily found anywhere online ( as far as I could fine).
Once the inner rear door cover is removed, along with the two inside and outer window scrapper up top, also remove the thick flexible rubber track that runs the inside edge of the windows closing area. That comes off and out easily.
Now, looking inside the main door void, toward the back area you’ll notice that the window track continues inside. This track is bolted to the door frame by two screw bolts.
I only unscrewed the lower one when I noticed the top one too. Because it was in a tight spot I left it. ( I’ve decided with another approach to fix my 2 snapped attachment fixtures which doesn’t require window removal anymore).
I believe if you unscrew this top one as well, and carefully manoeuvre by tilting up toward the front of car direction (wiggle back and forth) until the window has tilted on its front edge. Then pull up and out all very carefully.
This youtube link (if permitted) will show how to manoeuvre the rear glass out from the door.
all the best.
