So far I have it mounted so it stays closed with some plastic knives.
:lol:
There's a clip holding the window crank in place. The easiest way to get it out is to slip one edge of a rag between the door and crank and work it back and forth until the rag catches the ends of the clip and pops it out of the groove it's sitting in.
After that, take out the door handle/pocket (one screw down in the pocket) and the trim around the door lock/release (remove screw, then slide). Look around the panel and take out whatever screws you can find. Work your way down the front edge, along the bottom and up the rear edge popping out the plastic clips holding the door panel (just gently pull the panel away from the door). Push the panel up to free the lip along the window.
If you have door mounted belts, there's two parts holding the belts. A plastic bar at the bottom of the panel - remove one screw and it should swing out of the way. At the top of the panel, there's a plastic insert that the belt goes through... There's no way to get the belt out of the insert, so pop it loose (it's got a few tabs visible from the back of the door panel). If you look in the felt at the rear end of the window strip, you'll find one of those plastic screw pop fasteners. Remove it and you should be able to slip the belt out of the door panel... Just be careful not to pull the rest of the window strip off the door panel.
Unless somebody has already removed it, you'll find a plastic vapor barrier caulked to the door. Tear it out if you like, though it's probably better to damage it as little as possible.
Remove the clip from your window crank if you haven't already and slip the crank back on the window regulator shaft. Crank the window up and down until you see what's wrong with the mechanisim.
