squeaky window driving me nuts!!

arrghh!...my driver side window squeaks so loud and it's driving me nuts!! i feel like pouring a bottle of WD-40 down the window crack. i know there was the silicone solution, but i think something mechanical is squeaking. does anyone know how to take off the door panel?

There are two screws that you have to remove BEFORE yanking on the panel. Pop off the exposed disk at top right and also inside the handle, this will expose the screws. After removing said screws, you can carefully pull on the panel until it "pops" out of their holes. (be nice and patient) Unplug the p/l, p/w and door light and place in a clean area. Once off, you'll notice that the entire door is hermetically sealed in plastic. You can carefully cut along the seal to gain access to the inside and then reseal upon itself when you are reassembling. Pretty easy to do, take your time and good luck.
