Default poor power window operation

My passenger front power window is operating sluggishly. I'd like to get inside the door to check things out, but there must be a trick to taking the inside cover off of the door ??

I removed all visible bolts and can't seperate it from the door. It seems to be held at the center area. I didn't want to apply too much force until I consulted with this forum. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

There is usually 1-2 large bolts or screws holding the panel on around the inside handle to pull the door closed.

The screws are consealed by a cover that usually clips right over the handle itself and a gentle pry with a plastic trim tool is usually all that is needed to pop it off and expose the screws, usually very counter-sunk into the panel. A long #2or3 phillips is needed to remove them.

Often, there is another screw located behind a small cover and the door opener handle.

Sorry I'm not more help, I have yet to pull the doors on my 96 apart!
Good luck!

Some times some silicon spray in the window channels will sort the problem but avoid getting it on the glass.
