eed advice for drivers door window maintenence
 
Hello and thank you for reading.
Ok here's the deal...

Model & Year: 1996 Volkswagen Jetta GLX VR6

THE PROBLEM:

I was rolling the window up two days ago when I heard a snapping noise and the window stopped going up (luckily it was almost all the way there).

I'd pay to have it fixed if I could afford it, but I'd like to try and get the door panel removed and fix it myself.

I've unscrewed all 6 (side and bottom) screws along the sides of the inner door panel. I can pull it out about an inch on most places where it looks like the plastic clips are either broken or detached. How do I proceed in taking the door panel off completely?






Key words for this type of problem (to help other newbies find this post in the future): driver door panel removal window fix fell off track how to

Nevermind that was stupid... and incredibly easy..

I took pictures of everything.

My problem now is that I need to figure out how to get my window to roll UP... it will roll down just fine, but the damn thing makes a sqeaking noise and then a pop when the wire smacks the glass...
