I’m trying to repair the passenger side power window. The cable is twisted and resembled a plate of spagetti after I got inside the door panel and took a look. Problem is I can not remove the inner panel of the door to get to the window. What do I need to do to get in there?

| Brake Leak | 03 Jul 2005 14:31 GMT | 1 |
