I'm replacing the passenger side cables for my power windows because one of them rusted out and broke. I have both the long and short cables. My question is how do you get into the inner guts of the door? This is as far as I got lol. Call me dumb but I don't see how the panel comes off so I could access the inside.

Pull the rest of the plastic off, then you have to remove the glass, then the regulator and motor is accessible, although tight for removal. If I remember right the cables wrap in different directions a specific amount of turns, you'll have to look that up. You then stuff everything back and with your tiny little hands reattach them. Normal hands are terribly difficult, this is a service made to do by small japanese people.

did you eventually get this fixed? i'm just curious because the other day my cable snapped too and was looking around on the forums to see if there are any good DIY repairs guides.
