From memory:

Remove the arm rest, remove the vent at the rear of the door, remove the
plastic "finger shield" under the door handle, carefully pop off door panel
itself, carefully pull off the plastic wind shield under that.  You might
very well find that it's a small white rectangle of plastic connected to the
winder mechanism itself that's failed.

Subject: 1981 window dropped inside door

My 1981 dropped the window inside the door the other day. Now the crank will
not pull the window up. How do I remove the door panel to fix this and what
do I do when inside ?

Please reply pmail
