    Seems like my driver side power window is off track and I can’t find any videos or a write up on how to remove door panel. I'm handy but don't want to break anything so I rather hear it from someone who's done it.
    Thanks in advance

    Look for round or oblong plugs, there are screws behind them. The plugs will never stay in once you remove them with the help of silicone.

    Just did this on my 08 remove plastic plugs remove all the trox screws and the grab handle will come off, pull trim off from inside door handle once you have all the screws out take your hand hit upward on the bottom door pouch to get panel off they are on pretty tight. Know be carefully unhook mirror, lock, window, switch wiring from panel. Now you take off door handle, (inside) door locking box, window regulator. unhook all cables and rods and remove that inner steel panel off they are square head screws. What is causing the problem is that rubber felt is wore out the felt is gone the glass grabbing onto the rubber and binding up you must remove the window and replace that rubber felt take your time you got to remove all the glue in that track has to be totally clean before you install the new one. Good luck this is a seven hour job and a 35 dollar part over 500 dollars done at dealer some guys just spray silicone in that track and keep trucking.
