So yesterday one of my kids was sitting in the back seat and tried forcing my window down because she wanted it down faster (party foul for sure). Anyway, the window ended up falling inside of the door. Today I am trying to fix it and cannot find any guides or anything on how to get behind the inner panel where the window is stuck. Does anybody here have any tips or guides they know of to help me get in? I've got the first panel off along with the window trim, meaning I can see the window inside, but I can't get it out. Thanks!!!
