It is easy to pull the window out. I just used a wedge to slowly pop it out. Also I forgot to mention that if the alarm is armed the button on the dash may not work. But what will work is to use the inside door handle. You will most likely have to pull it twice for the door to open. I used a bar that a police man let me borrow. He didn't want to be held responsible if something broke, so he let me do it. He was worried that the car was super expensive lol.
