PT Cruiser - door panel removal?

PT Cruiser - door panel removal? - 03/12/09 11:55 PM

The rear drivers side window on the wife's PT will not go up. I can hear a clicking noise inside the door panel when hitting the window button but nothing is moving. I remooved 2 scres from the grab handle and 2 screws from the door panels but this thing will not budge. Whats the trick for removal? I'm stumped. Thanks for any help.

I can't vouch for the rears, but the front panels really fit tight to the metal, so once you get the screws out (and in front there is one hidden behind the mirror mount moulding) you start at the bottom rear, get a putty knife under the panel and gently pry outward. Put duct tape on the metal to avoid scratching or be very careful.
The panels are held on with the usual plastic barrel plugs as I recall.

Hope this helps.
