I don't have a 56 but I believe you may have to lift the wind wing up to get clearance, this would entail taking off the inside upholstery to access the bolts for the wind wing. Someone please correct me if I have this wrong it's been years since I have done this...Tedd

I haven't taken mine apart but I think Tedd is right about removing the wing vent first. The post molding probably needs to come off as well. From the picture Cobalt needs to take out the window anyway.

I don't remember it being a problem other than removing the door upholstery,other than that I think it's only one bolt maybe two....Tedd
