In an emergency? What would be the options?What could you use?

If no other options, tyre jack or wheel brace.

Open the door and get out. or is that too easy?!

the old rubber wedge ones just pushed out, put your feet against it and push hard
the new ones ( showing my age here cos the vulcanised method came out back in the mid 70's ) are a little tougher, can be pushed out, but need to start close to a corner and keep pushing until they shatter
most people do not carry a jack or a lever in their car, and in most instances when you need to remove a window there isn't the time to dive over the back and start ripping into the tool storage
Recently saw small hammers with a torch in the handle sold as escape hammers, store in glovebox, claimed to be useful for just this purpose

side windows are a lot easier, one foot hard in the top opposite the hinge end and they disappear
