Default How do I insert door glass?

First time installing a door window in my 97 sport. I got the door panel off, got the bottom window trim pulled out, and unscrewed the narrow "trim" window. I can't figure out how to completely detach the trim window from the top of the door, it just hangs there like in the picture below (I unscrewed the Torx screw in the top).

How do I wiggle the main door glass into place?

It's a puzzle. A very p.i.t.a. puzzle.

If you removed the at the top then that window should come out fairly easy...

Hoo Ha HA

Thanks guys. I was able to get that damn stationary glass out after a lot of pulling and twisting. It was the first time I tinkered with that part so I wasn't sure how forceful to be. Once I got the stationary glass out everything went pretty smoothly. Gently slide both pieces of glass in at an angle, tighten the stud nut on the bottom of the main piece, lift and straighten both pieces out, and then fasten the stationary glass.
