First I'm sorry that I was not very clear (this is the first time I post any questions on this site. I have a 2001 Grand Prix GT and my R/R window only seems to works when it wants too. I do have power going to both switches, but have the time the window will not work. the problem is I do not know how tho take of the rear panel. Is it 1 piece or 2 pieces what about the 2 plugs behind the door handle. if I take them out I can see 2 bolt. Do I loosen them
and are they even part of the door panel.

hope some one can help.

Thanks in advance

Important
Before installing the rear door trim panel to the inner door, discard the old trim panel retainers. Use new trim panel retainers in order to properly secure the rear door trim panel to the rear door inner panel.

Position the rear door trim panel to the rear door inner panel, making sure the door handle comes through the bezel.
Install the rear door trim panel pressing in on the area of the retainers until fully seated.

Notice
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.


Install the trim panel screws to the rear door panel. Tighten
Tighten the screws to 3 N·m (27 lb in).
