Default Window Help?

How do I get the panel off that covers the window and lock switches on the passenger doors. Seems like a screwdriver would pop it off but just want to be sure so I dont screw it up. Gonna try to clean everything to see if that helps get the windows working. They work from the drivers side and as I have read, thats a common problem. This is where I'm starting........

yep there is just little plastic... uhh anchors around the perimeter of the door pannel and if your careful you can reuse them, a flathead is nice to do the first one and then gently pry with your fingers on the rest
... hope this helped

Thanks, but are you referring to the whole door panel. Im talking about just the cover over the switches.

According to the ehow article below, the only way to get the door switch module off is to remove the entire door panel, then, while supporting the loosened panel, reach behind and undo some clips and disconnect the wiring.

Also, see this article for pics:

The instructions are for the driver's side, but you'll get the idea...

yea, that panel is part of the door panel, you can't just pry it off - must remove entire door panel.
