Passanger side window on my 2001 2500hd will not go baqck up. I need to know where the clips that hold the inside door panel are so I can repair the problem. The motor seems to be ok, it seem's the glass is jammed and it is having a hard time moving up.
First you remove the window switch assy by prying in and up at the back of the assy. By assy I mean window and door lock bezel and all. The place where you grab ahold to close the door will have 1 maybe 2 screws (can't remember) also under the switch assy I think there is a screw. Some have a screw under the red reflector at the rear of the door. Remove the triangle shaped trim piece at the front top of door panel. Remove the bezel from around the inside door handle. Using a screwdriver (flat tip) at the bottom of the door panel pry the panel out enough to see the clips and pry next to the clip. These clips are strong and you have to pry hard.

There are usually screws holding the armrest portion secured and possibly a screw in the inside door handle area. These may be hidden by plastic covers that can be removed for access to the screws. Some times the armrest portion will seperate ( held by clips ) and screws will be there.
Hi,
You remove the door panel on the inside and it is bolted on from the inside. One wire clip and 3 bolts. Takes longer to remove and replace the door panel than replace the mirror....look for a hidden screw under the armrest , under the window/door lock button panel and sometimes behind the reflector or light on the bottom of door..Usually there are 3-4 screws and then the rest of the panel is held on by plastic clips. Get the screws out, then work a flat screwdriver or putty knife around the sides and bottom of panel, then lift upwards to get the top sealing side out of the track where the window runs.....Mike
remove all screws(phillips) remove the power window/locks switches carefully, all along the door panel edges there are clips that hold the panel onto the inside door skin these must be carefully pried as to not break them, they are plastic... have a screw # 2 phillips driver, flat bladed also to pry panel etc. and a pair of needle nose pliers to remove any clips that stay stuck in the door skin once the panel is removed. Look over the panel carefully and be sure you remove anything that ressembles a plastic caq/cover to ensure safe removal. Go slow do it right the first time!!! Good luck. John
you'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle,
arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the
panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want
to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to
get it off the window ledge. then pull off the seal (won't be able to reuse) and you can get to the inners of the door. You'll need to lower the window a bit so you can see the arm the window rests on and you just need to remove the clips / bolts holding the arm to the window. to get the new window in, you'll have to slide it through the top ****

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle,
arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the
panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want
to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to
get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel
and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and
disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door
These are not too difficult to remove, you just need to know where the hidden fasteners are. The usual plastic clips hold the panel around the sides and bottom, and need to be gently pried up, ideally with the tool designed for this. At the back of the armrest there is a reflector, a sort of triangle shaped thing, which must be removed, by working a slim screwdriver in at the top, to push down on the clip that holds it. This clip is sort of sawtooth shaped, bends down when installed, and pops back up when in place. When it's out, you'll see a 10mm bolt which secures the door panel to a bracket on the door, looking straight in through the hole. Remove it. The power window switch assembly needs to be removed to access the other two of these lag bolts. There is a spring clip at the front of the switch, you need to work a tool (screwdriver or similar) GENTLY in between the front of the switch and the armrest, and push this clip backward. The front of the switch can be raised, and the switch slides forward and out.There are two bolts holding the panel to a bracket looking down through the opening. After that, it's just the usual clips. Good luck!
sounds like the rods are disconnected the clips hold the rods in place the latching mechanism holds the handle in place as well did you replace the speakers or did a shop? if a shop did then they caused this if you did then you may have caused this either way untill you reattach the rods none of it will work. you will have to manually open the door at the latch from inside teh door behind the panel.
I need to know how to get the door panel off!
