Default Front Passanger Window Shatterd!

I have had my 2008 1500 Big Horn since last March and currently I have just over 6,000 miles on it.

Last Tuesday after eating dinner at Texas Roadhouse, I walked over to my truck and noticed that the front passenger window was shattered. Someone broke into my truck!

I had to pay out of pocket a $150 (don’t get esurance) to get it fixed.

When the glass company repaired it, they said they tried to get all the broken glass out of the inside of the door but were unsuccessful because the glass was trapped between the inner and outer pannel.

I would like to take the inside door trim off and clean the inside myself.

Do anyone no how to take the door trim off?

I would have thought they would have to remove the panel to replace the window anyway... Maybe they meant that even with the panel removed they couldn't get to some places inside the door because they are just inaccessible.
