    No, but I don't draw a lot of attention. And you won't find broken glass for the next year in your vehicle if I do it my way. Ymmv..tho

    Why a brick? A piece of spark plug porcelain on a shoelace is what they use around here. Nice and quite.

    Better yet, a center punch.

    But seriously an air wedge and a rod are the way to go if you don't want to be picking glass out for the rest of the trucks life.

    After I beat his ass and made him eat my broken glass, he'd get a ride to jail.

    It'd be the other way around, as you describe it.

    I had a 91 & i'm sure there similar, I think the easiest way with out causing a lot of damage is pick a door & try to gently pull the whole assembly out, you will probably brake the hooks that hold it in, maybe heating up the door & handle with a heat gun will make it easier, once you get it out of the door, just a enough to get a needle nose in there to pull on the trigger.
