Can some one help me find clear information on how to remove the drivers side door panel with electric seat controls, to access the window motor,
motor runs but window does not. braingears site does not have the necessary page showing how to remove door panel. Neither does skinnerbox.
any pictures or procedures would be a great help.

If I am not mistaken your car has the seats on the door panel and when you move them the seats move? If that is the case you must pull off the seats off that panel and then there is a small clip that holds the panel on the door panel. Remove that and also remove the screws for the arm rest. After that you just lift the door panel up from the bottom as it has hooks that hook down into the door. Once you remove the door panel you will marvel at how well designed it is...I think this is the way it is removed. Owned a car audio shop for years and I may have the years mixed up....

Pizzaman is correct. Putting the panel back in is another story! You will have to line up all the hooks and then push the panel inward and downward. It's easy to miss a hook from inserting into it's slot, then you have to pull the whole thing up and out again and start over! It's frustrating but be cool and you will eventually get the panel back in properly.

You can visit automotive shop, you can ask assistance for your problem. If you need to change you door panel, body panel and other parts of your car.. just browse the net.
