Removing Door Panel- 02 Dakota Sprt - 5/9/2008 6:07:50 AM    spenney9   Posts: 1 Joined: 5/9/2008 Status: offline Having a bit of trouble with my power window on the driver side my 02 dakota sport 4x4. The window comes down about 4 inches then slows and stops. The motor seems fine however I am thiking something may have let go or the window is going off the tracks at this point. How much work is to taking off the door panel on my rig? Anyone ever do this? How hard is it with the power widow switches and locks?  Anyone ever have this happen? Comments? Suggestions? BTW this is my first post on this forum. Long time reader, first time poster. Some great stuff. Thanks in advance! Post #: 1

I've replaced the power window regulator in my '03 QC and it took about an hour to do the whole thing.  Hope that helped. (in reply to spenney9) Post #: 2
