what I did was went to the junk yard and ripped one of the door there, I know not very nice for the next guy but it served a purpose. Next took a piece of sheet metal and marked a referance point from the opening hles on the handle to the sheet metal, then made a u cut out on the sheet metal. now it can slide in behind the handle and hit the lock "ring" at both points and just pop it off no problem at all...... If I can find it I'll send a pic.

Worst case scenario get a really small headed but long shanked flathead screwdriver and go from the actual handle towards the pivot point, if you can get close enough you'll see the little tabs of the lock ring sticking up. Push on those and watch out where it flies of to.

I had a gps plugged in charging and stored in my glove box but apparently some asshole seen the charger and smashed my window in and stole the gps.

Yeah the lock ring for the window roller handle. I just normally use a really small flat head and pop it off. But it goes from the actual handle part and pushing away from it.
