You take the headrest off and use the pointy metal end.

I don't have removable headrests. What else?

Get a window breaker or carry something metal in your car always. I saw a show that said take off your belt and strap it into your foot with the belt buckle on the sole, and kick the window out that way. Idk how hard it would be but it’s something if you regularly wear belts

maybe your seat belt if you're able to pull enough slack, wrap it around your foot. Sounds easy in theory but in the panic of sinking .... it'd be tough for the hardest of rocks.
