Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / August 20062002 Suzuki Vitara door panel
The driver's window on my Suzuki Vitara is very slow in mid-range going up. Sometimes it even stops and must be manually assisted. Going down is no problem. In order to inspect the tracks and possibly lubricate them and any worm gear involved, I tried to remove the door panel. I cannot remove the small plastic panel behind the door latch. I can remove the Phillips head screw and a small rubber piece on the lower side of this panel, but cannot see if there is something to remove in the hole of the rubber piece. Unless I can remove this small panel behind the latch, there is no chance of removing the entire panel. Can anyone tell me how this little plastic panel behind the latch is removed? Thanks for your time. Dan should pop off with sliding motion forward or reward < > after phillips screw is removed > The driver's window on my Suzuki Vitara is very slow in mid-range going > up.

I've tried sliding that panel in all directions after I take out the Phillips head screw. It just won't budge in any direction. It comes away from the top but seems to be held in the lower part of the panel roughly under the hole that is exposed after that rubber plug is removed. What is the purpose of the hole that is exposed when the rubber plug is taken out? Is there something down that hole that must be removed? All in all it seems like a very strange way to anchor a panel that has to be taken out in order to remove the door panel. That Phillips head screw should have been enough.

I'm certain that something must be done through this opening. I've inserted Allen wrenches and screw drivers all to no avail. Can someone tell me what must be done to release the bottom of this panel? Dan > Thanks for the response, Joseph.

There is no need to do anything through the little hole or through the hole under the rubber plug. As suggested by Joseph, the panel must be pushed forward to release two plastic hook members from their mountings. Then one must unhook the door opening rod from the latch and the panel comes right out. Lubricating the channels with silicon grease now permits the window to operate normally. Thanks again, Joseph.
