Question
Today I put the driver side rear window down and  when I went to roll it up it made a  clicking sound and would not go back upbut i was able to grab a hold of it and pull it back up I believe there is something wrong with the regulator. But my question is how do i take the door panel off and also do you think i will be able to fix the problem with out replacing the regulator?

Answer
You don't identify the year or model of your car. Door panels are usually held on by a few screws around the interior door handle and/or armrest.  After removing these, there are usually snap clips around the edges that you pull the panel out.

Sounds like you'll probably need a new regulator.
