Default Vandals got me. Help with glass removal

Hello. Some punks shot out about 20 different cars windows. I was one of the unlucky ones.

The glass people didn't get all the glass in the door out. It will drive me crazy until it's gone. Any suggestions? Thanks

Pull the door panel and use a shop vac with crevice tip.

Take the inside door panel off and use a dryer vacuum atachment to pull all the glass out. Sucks that the window dude did not clean up all the glass. Looks like someone was testing out there New pellet gun.

The only option to remove all the glass is to remove the door panel and vacuum it out yourself

Yep - very easy! I used a 90 allen key held with pliers to remove the door latch trim panel.

You can remove the door panel and vacuum or make the glass company come out and complete the job they were paid to do. JMO

My side window was smashed recently by vandals and replaced by the insurance recommended glass company. I still hear glass inside the door sometimes when it is closed. Said that some glass left inside the door is normal.

I actually found that my rear passenger door glass wash smashed out and replaced because I found glass chips under the door sill panel. It sucks. It's hard to get it all. Tempered glass blows into a million pieces.
