Hi. I have a 2002 LW300. I'm looking for a link to a web site that can show me how to remove the front passenger door panel. Some piece of glass or stone is stuck in the mechanism and is scratching the window when rolling the window up or down.

It must be a piece of glass from when someone smashed the window back a few months ago. It was replaced but i guess a small piece got stuck there somewhere.

Thanks for your help.

 

From online repair manual at a major chain's website -- use at your own risk

Directions are for window motor and regulator removal --
I figured you'll find your stray debris along the way while following this series of steps -- up to step 10 anyway.... ( you shouldn't need to fully complete all listed steps since regulator and motor removal are not your goal....)

Enjoy
