broke nothing else but my sanity. after getting it all apart, i spent another 20 minutes trying to find a torx socket and adapter I dropped. I finally found it in the last place I looked.
To be clear, the tools fell as I pulled out from a hole (that's what she said) to loosen a bolt that holds the glass in the window track. I pulled that speak out not noticing the tools were stuck to the back of it.🙃
