Which option describes the correct sequence for removing a side window?

• A. Remove the glass with the appropriate tool, then remove the window frame or portion
• B. Remove the window frame or portion, then remove the glass
• C. Remove the glass with the appropriate tool and then remove the window frame or portion
• D. Remove the door handle

Answer: (C)

Removing the glass with the appropriate tool first creates a usable opening and minimizes the risk of glass shards causing injury as you gain access to the interior. Once the glass is out, you can safely remove the window frame or portion to finish the opening and reach the interior mechanisms you need to access. Trying to remove the frame first can trap or complicate the glass removal and isn’t the correct sequence for creating a safe, accessible opening. The door handle isn’t part of the side-window removal sequence.
