IIRC, you can get the latch out without pulling the glass. You do have
to pull the metal part of the channel. It has a metal shield attached
around the latch. You do this while the window is in the full up
position.
The metal shield is there to keep "slim jim's" and "coat hangers" away
from the latch. Very few T-3's that had the doors locked were ever
stolen.
