Need to give this a try to fix my window issue. Read several posts, and got the armrest and switch off. Wondered if I could get to the switch by reaching into the spaces now clear? Had to tell from the posted photos exactly where it is. Would be great if I didn't need to tear it all out.

 

Taking the panel out is so easy...no reason to shortcut it. The only other screws you are missing are the two inside the armrest and the one behind the door handle. After that, you just start popping the pins out starting at the bottom. I just did this today.
