What is the commonly accepted fix for a squeeking window? Greasing the tracks? Is there a commonly accepted spray grease that people feel is the best if I am willing to open my doors in order to fix this?

Hey Gates;
I just did this on my 06 F150 Today to install some Sony Speakers, (I'm glad I found this site!) and with the back doors you have to follow the steps shown in the pictures above (except for the grill portion, that is only for the front doors) and then you have to take an extra Panel to get to the last screw/bolt. So if you are looking at the Door lock from inside , their is a Long skinny panel (banana shape) which is held in by 2 door clips. Use a flathead screwdriver and pop that panel off. Once you do that you will see the Last Screw/bolt for the Full door panel. remove that screw and the Panel will lift Up and Off. Their is still a Wire that is connected, so I had my Daughter hold the Panel since it is not very heavy and then I replaced the factory speakers. Then do the reverse order and put it back together. Make sure you get the Door lock back in the slot so it will work. and make sure all connections are hooked up. You should be good to Go.. Hope that helps.

I'm stuck on an '09XL with no power anything (crank window). I tried the instructions here:
How to swap outer door mirrors on 2004-2008 F150
and once I get the two bottom screws, and the one behind the handle, I'm stuck. I've gotten the window crank off, but it still seems like there is something holding the bottom of the panel in. I've tried to put as much pressure on it as I could to see if it would pop off, but I can't get it. I've taken door panels off before (dodge's, hyundai's, ford's, all kinds) and I can tell when something is not completely unscrewed. Something is still holding on there.

Has anyone taken off a base XL panel yet? I was ready to go with my new speakers today, and now I am stuck.
