Removing door panel
Okay, so my drive side window has **** on me. When I roll the window up, when it gets about half way up, it goes up on the wrong side of one of the seals(first one working from the outside of the car, in) so, I'm removing my door panel to see if i can place it back on the right side, however the thing wont completely come off. I'm guessing the MANUAL window mechanism is what is holding the door attached(It's a DX). Anyone removed this & know how to remove it so I can fix my window before it rains? heh. Dumb question I know, but I'm aggrivated & frustrated, & my Hines is back home 4 hours away from the Marine base I'm stationed at right now.. So, yeah. Thank you for your replys.

Re: Removing door panel (C2daIzZle)
1 screw behind door handle
1 screw in the scoop (where you close the door, with your hand)
1 plastic screw at the top right (where door closes on side of dash)
The window handle has a C clip. Look at where it attaches and you'll see it. Barely. Take a flathead screwdriver and push it off, then the handle will slide off.
Pry the door panel off starting at the bottom left and move across the bottom.

thank you for the replys, i got the panel off... now..
when i remove the panel, i noticed my a little metal bar going up my door with sealing that looks as if the window goes inside the sealing, so i put the window in the sealing by loosening the bar, then stretching over eventually getting the window in without to much hassle, window rolls up fine, but it wont roll down, when i try rolling it down, the window eventually with enough pressure gets off of the sealant bar track, whats wrong with this picture?

thank you for the help, i got it. i removed my other panel to compare, seemed as if the trouble ive been having to roll the window up & down had bent my gliding sealer quite a bit, i bent it back in to place seems to work fine now, with a little hesitation & pressure needed to fully roll it up after its rolled halfway up.
