Default Door panel/window problem, need help*

Hey guys, this past week I rolled my driver side window up due to bad weather, just to realize it was stuck down and would not roll up. I have known since i got my stang that the windows needed some work because they are very hard to roll up but I am needing some advice to get in there and clean the scissor joint and rails out... I have removed the hardware, panel, and plastic watershield and can see through 5-6 small holes to see the rails and window but can not get in there to clean them out (wire brush and white lithium grease). I was able to spray some WD-40 in there and get the crank moving well enough to get the window all the way up but i need to get the whole main panel and window unit out to be able to clean from the other side...any advice or pictures would be greatly appriciated! thanks

I see 2 bolts on the outside edge, and 10-12 on the inside panel and don't want to take any out till I can find a picture or something to know exactly the way about doing it...thanks

Take the handles, arm rest and door panel off. Then look around. There are plastic rollers that usually fall apart located in channels in the door and the window.

Once the panels are off, roll the window down about 1/4 of the way. You will see a clamping piece midway on the lower edge of the window that is bolted to what you call the scissors. Take the screws out. Go to the rear edge of the door, remove the weatherstrip piece at the top of the door itself. Inside there is a bolt holding on an L shaped piece that is a window stop that keeps you from rolling the window too high. Take it off. You can now argue and cuss the window out. Then it's easy to get the regulator out to clean and rebuild it.
