I have problems with my power window, it got slammed shut the other day and something came loose as a result theres no power going to my passenger side window anymore. Does anyone have any idea of what might've happened? Also I dont know how to take off the door panels since i've never worked on cars until now so if anyone has pictures of when they've done this that'd help a lot. I cant find any screws holding it down but im not going to just pull on it even though It looks like its clipped on to an extent. Any info and advice is appreciated thanks.
 
Remove the upper panel first, as it fits into a groove in the lower panel. Upper panel has two screws behind the little covers at each end of the pull strap. Then there is a "push in" fastener at the front and back of the door, about halfway up on the upper panel. Buy an inexpensive door panel removal tool at the parts store for those. The proper tool has about a 5/16" slot. Once you get it loose, then pull upward to unhook the top lip from the door. Lower half has screws hidden behind the armrest, and push-ins around the perimeter. You'll need to remove the wiring plugs for the power windows and locks- just gently pry them away after you remove the twist-on locking caps. The treated paper water shield is next, usually held on by some elastic caulk and a little tape. I have no idea what you'll find once inside the door. Report back once you can look around inside. Hope this helps a bit.
