Outside door handle install/removal?

Does anyone have the secret to get to that nut that holds the outside door handle on? I had to replace my driver side handle (it was broken by thieves) and one nut is really easy, the other is hidden behind the door frame and window rails, ect. I tried all kinds of
U-joint extensions, flexible estensions and I just can't get to it. I did my best but the handle is still loose.

I havent done one in a long time so i dont remember how it's done but the manual shows that you have to remove the window run bolt at the bottom of the run and then move the run out of the way. The run is the rail that the windows goes up and down in.

Thanks for the tip. Will the window fall down in the door when the rail is removed? Don't want to have to replace a window too!?

Nope. The run is at the back of the window. With the window rolled up it will stay there.
