The small black plastic piece on each door? they're super glued in it seems. Do i just rip it out?

I have to remove it in order to try the hammer trick to fix my frozen stuck window.

Best way is a plastic pry tool to lift up the edge and then they will pop out. They should NOT be glued-

They are supposed to pop out.
Often they are broken (missing the ears) and the previous owner may have glued it back in place.

this driver side one is definitely glued. how should i proceed? just pry/rip it out?

the pass. side one fell out many years ago, and i had to do the hammer trick on it a few times to unfreeze the window. now its the driver's side

acroy

that's what I did. IIRC cheap replacements are available on Ebay. Otherwise, glue it back in

If it is glued, then you might want to try a little heat to soften up the glue (won't work on all glues) and pry it out carefully. You can get news one from Mark @VetteNuts
