firstly remove all window trims (inner & outer) and the inner rubber-window-guide thing (soory about description); then..

to get the glass out i think you are bet of removing the winder mechanism and easing that out of the runners of the glass - would adise having a helper to hold the glass.

after you have the winder mech out, dip the front of the glass down and pull it out of the top of the door back first.

not sure which nut you are refering to either, sorry.

your best bet is to use a socket, and if it has started to round then beat a 10mm multi socket onto it as i think they a 7/16 originally.

thanks for all the advice, will give it a go... if all else fails i might have to get the grinder out....

Just put my door glass back in, what I do is wind the window down about 1/4, then undo the 4 screws on the winder mech. the pull the mech. back so that the little lip comes away from the door, then I actually wind the mech. down using the handle then slide it out the runners.

Haynes manual explains it better, its hard to put it in writing but the haynes is roughly the same way I do it.

as regards to your door nut,you will probably find once you put a socket on it and if its that stuck it will more than likely snap off mine did
