Can someone give me simple instructions on removing the door panel.

My window won't roll up completely and it acts like it is out of alignment.
First symtom was a scratch on the window tint for a day or so. Then when I shut the door is sounded like a metal object fell inside the door panel. Window operated okay for 2-3 times and then failed to close all the way and makes a lot of noise when I put it all the way down.
I removed the screws from the bottom of the door panel and popped the internal plastic rivets out but can't get any farther than that. I believe the metal sound I heard was a small bolt that fell out when I pryed the interior panel out (also 18 cents fell out). Is there a secret to removing the interior panel completely. Thanks

I don't know about your car specifically, but normally there are a few thousand plastic fasteners of various types around the perimeter of the panel. Make sure you have all the screws out from handles, levers, etc.
