Question
The driver's side window goes down about 6 inches and then stops.  I want to know how to remove the interior door panel to access the window mechanism

Answer
You must remove the seat switches and all visible screws carefully.These are plastic and are fragile so gently pry each one off.There will be small plastic covers on the door arm so remove to see the screws.You will also need to remove the mirror cover by the same method,pry gently to take off.When you are sure you have all the screws removed,use a screwdriver and place between the panel and door body.Gently pry the panel away as it is held by more plastic grommets so you will hear them pop as they come loose.Work your way around the door until the panel is free and it should lift off.Dont force anything,if its tight look for hidden screws as they are in the panel and are always covered.Remove the small door light also by pry method.It pops off.The door handle is the trickiest and will have a rod so you will see how it is held by pulling it out from the small clip,you can remove it.
