How do I open/remove the front driver door panel so that I may close the window? I don't know if it is the motor or the register that is not working, but I need to close my window until I can get it to the shop.

    Try with the ignition key on engine running operate the window switch toward the up position with the door open, holding the switch in the closed position slam the door closed (not violently) if the motor has a dead spot or switch is dropping voltage due to oxidized contacts this may allow the window to close.
    Autozone have some popular workshop manuals for free on line once you register (for free) on their website http://bit.ly/autozone_repair_info .There is a company that independent auto repair shops "buy" their information from that offer a very reasonable service to do it yourselvers. You get a one year subscription to year make and model specific repair procedures, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... great quality information same as the professionals have ,much better than generic workshop manuals from parts stores, much cheaper than the factory manual. http://bit.ly/alldata_repair_manuals or try http://bit.ly/mitchell_repair_manuals_online and get an online repair manual subscription.
