Fuzzy, I moved your post to a new thread in the proper year forum since it has nothing to do with HVAC.

You can get the panels off with the door closed. Pop the trim from around the window. There is 2 or 3 screws holding the pannel get them out and lift up and out on the panel

That video shows a waste of time. The end of the cable, usually the upper cable needs replacement or repair. If you take the cable off, you can see the problem. Do a search of this forum. There is a way of repairing the end of the cable instead of buying a new cable which is expensive. I replaced the upper cables on both of my rear doors to get them to open again.

Yes what he did is a waste. The OP asked how to get the panels off. That was the only vidio I could that showed that.

kd4gij, When I read the thread I posted the link to, I saw that you were the one who posted the cheap method of repairing this cable problem. Good Information!
