Unhappy Rear LH Window stuck up

I just bought a 2003 convertible Mustang two months ago and the rear driver side window won't roll down. Does anyone know how to fix this or how to pull the back interior panel off without breaking anything? Thanks!

A buddy of mine had a problem like his on his car and it was that some how wire running to the switch came unplugged, we found the issue on accident but it worked great after we got plugged back in a put back together

Well I would think it would be just like any other window. If you're not hearing anything at all it's probably either the switch or a wiring problem, maybe the motor. As far as taking it apart, I don't remember exactly without looking at it but I do remember that it was very easy to figure out when I put my speakers in... Just gotta pop out a few of the little retainer pins(damn it, brain fart, why can't I think of what they're really called? lol) I'm pretty sure.

I looked at a few websites and one said to try holding down the button until it makes a clicking noise and it resets. It worked for my window and I didn't have to replace anything.

I've had a similar problem, except my window would go down fine, it just wouldn't come back up. After a little troubleshooting, I found the motor was fine but the switch was the culprit. I removed the switch from the door, dis-assembled it, and cleaned the contacts with some fine sand paper. It worked fine after that.
Coincidentally, I have the same problem with my 2006 F150. Must be a common issue with Ford switches.

I had the same problem with my 02 vert driver door window that wouldn't go up.

I pushed the button until I was blue in the face and nothing. Then I held the switch and slapped the **** out of the door panel and it worked like a charm.
Pretty sure I didn't fix anything permanently, but it was an effective work-around.

Be glad its not a Fox vert.

Took us six months to figure out how to get to the guts of the window so we could adjust its alignment so it would seal off right when it was rolled up.

And it still doesn't seal off right. Dammit.
