Default 2003 Mustang Power Window Problem

I've had my car for 10 months now and haven't had any problems, recently my driver window is acting up. When i start the car in the morning the window goes up and down, but when I come back to it after work it won't work at all. but when I go to start it up the next morning, sure enough, it works. My passenger window works fine. Anyone know the cuase of this? If it's a loose connection, anyone have or know of a step by step method of removing the door paneling and checking out the motor? Please help me out, thank you.

No warranty, I'm at 38K. Anyone know how to remove the door panel? I heard that the motor may need to be tapped with a hammer.

If it starts working every morning tapping it with a hammer isnt gonna help unless the motor isnt working then you can tap it and it might work.It most likely needs a new motor.The door panels come off by removing all the screws theres one in the door handle and a couple I belive in the arm rest and maybe one on the bottom corners then you just pop the door panel off, there are push type clips that just pop off when you pull on it.

How would he have a problem where the windows slide down in a car with manual windows?
