My passenger window only goes down 3/4 the way. When it goes back up, the glass shifts forward and then retracks itself. My guess is that the window is off one of it's tracks. How do I remove the interior door trim to get to this? Anyone else had this problem?

There are 3 screws that must be removed. Two on the bottom of the door panel and one in the handle cup, under a plastic button. Once they are removed, pop the lens of the door light with a small standard screwdriver, remove the two Phillips screws, and unplug the light fixture. The last piece that needs to be removed is the plastic trim piece on the door release handle. This can be tricky to remove if it has not been removed before, but by using a small standard screwdriver, it will pop off. Be cautious as you do this, and too much force will break it. Once that has been removed, it’s time to take off the panel. There are little plastic snaps that snap the panel to the door, and to release them, you can use a tool that Crutchfield sells for about $3 that is a large fork that is slipped around the snap, and you lift up. If you don’t have this tool, a standard screwdriver will do. Set the panel aside.

There is a piece of foam that is attached to the door panel. It is there to prevent the flexing of the door panel and is a part of nissan's cost cutting strategy. It's common for that piece to fall off.
