1st timer. My '00 EB's driver's side power window has been making some clanking noise on the way down and the glass shifting cockeyed - the top towards the front. I had been having to hold the window at the top as it came down to keep it in line. Today (for some unknown reason) I held the window UP as I pushed the down button and - duh - it came detached from the power frame? or bracket or keeper whatevers. Now I've removed the little triangle by the mirror, unhooked the remote mirror switch, all the door lock, window switches, etc. from the panel. Q: How do I remove the actual panel w/out screwing it up? I figure there's clips at the sides and bottom of the panel and then it lifts straight up? I've only had the expy a short while and this is the 1st time I've done any interior work on it.

Thanks for setting me straight from the gitgo. (what does gem stand for?)
Down and rainy.

It turned out the middle screw that looked like it had nothing to do with the panel, I had to go and have the head ground off of it. Then it became a simple lift and off! Attached is a pic inside the panel (for the benefit of next guy) showing it looks like. Now on to the original problem of the window clanking as it went up or down..
