my brother's driver's side window won't work anymore, it's stuck all the way down. and he's been coughing for weeks now because of the chilly weather. he's certain he can fix it if he can figure out how to get the door off. thanks sooo much.

I bet if you went to a body shop they would assist you.
You could also try a major parts store, they are usually knowledgable and helpful.

I suggest you check window switch(s) wire connections for good contact before attempting to exchange window motor. . Disconnect battery (+) wire. Remove door handles fasteners and any screws holding the interior panel. Slowly pull bottom of door panel straight from door and work upwards to separate from friction fasteners (use care not to break these) until you can lift panel up off the top. Remove any insulating panels. If motor is behind glass, disconnect linkage and use a wood shim to hold window up. Unplug wiring connector. Remove or drill out motor mounting fasteners. Replacement will be relatively simple if you can remove the old motor. Make sure to lubricate linkages with lithium spray grease and check for operation before replacing door panel. Good Luck

You need a special tool that slides between the door panel and door frame to release the clips holding on the panel. Check with the local auto parts store. Of course, the arm rest has to be removed too.

Remove all handles and arm rests. The door panel should pop out with some minor prying.

with a prybar. Unfrotunately, cars are designed to be assembled quickly and efficiently, not taken apart. Once you take it off, it will never fit quite right again.

That is a complicated problem. I worked in a place that had a body shop, those guys are experienced!

1/2 a pound of C4 should do it nicely.
