    1983 320i side vent window removal

    First post so here goes.

    I have searched for info on how to remove a side vent window with no luck. I have the hinging mechanism unscrewed and the window is free except for the leading edge. I am nervous about the amount of pull or rotation i put on the window. I can not get this thing to free up. Is there a screw or hardware in the door pillar interior I need to access to release the hinge side?

    Thanks

    There are 2 10mm screws hidden in B pillar behind plastic plugs. Loosen these screws and window will slide out.
