Default 99 door panel removal

the glass has come off the track on this power window system, so I removed two screws in the hand cup and one screw up at the top right corner and then pulled out and pulled out but no give to the panel. Are there more screws I've missed, I don't want to damage the panel but if I have to I will use a prybar

theres the the 3 screws you got plus theres little plastic clips that look like little christmas trees there about every 6-10 inches all around the door, so you have to pull them away from the door( but be careful not to wreck the clip that hold it in the panel) you can get a speacial tool I think or you can use a a flat tip screw driver. you can get the clips at a parts store or the dealer but there kinda pricey.

If I've missed something please correct me.

here's some pics of the christmas tree clips.
get the panel tool. its only 10 bucks at autozone and it'll save you from breaking your panel and having to replace the clips.

the clips have a notch in them. the forked tool catches in the notch and pops the clip right out.

use a plastic putty knife or similar tool to slip behind the panel to locate the clips. it won't scratch the paint like a metal tool.

Well I went and got the $6 dollar panel tool and found my putty knife, and a small Phillips screw driver. Everything came off nice and found on the widow scissor frame there is a plastic ball (size of a small marble) that fit in a channel to guide the rod up and down, well it broke in half, laying inside of the inter door. Will have to order it for about 3 dollars and a half and maybe get it by Monday. Found out my front two speakers are dead but the back ones are OK, so I will kill two birds with one installation charge, I quess I will charge myself $60 bucks and use it to get me to the Casino in Louisiana 6 hours away. Thanks to all….
