2002 Suzuki Vitara door panel
The driver's window on my Suzuki Vitara is very slow in mid-range going up.
Sometimes it even stops and must be manually assisted. Going down is no problem. In order to inspect the tracks and possibly lubricate them and any worm gear involved, I tried to remove the door panel. I cannot remove the small plastic panel behind the door latch. I can remove the Phillips head screw and a small rubber piece on the lower side of this panel, but cannot see if there is something to remove in the hole of the rubber piece. Unless I can remove this small panel behind the latch, there is no chance of removing the entire panel. Can anyone tell me how this little plastic panel behind the latch is removed? Thanks for your time. Dan |

2002 Suzuki Vitara door panel
I'm having exactly the same problem with trying to get the "little
plastic panel" off! I want access to fix the door lock mechanism though. I feel a little better knowing that at least one other person has tried and is having a problem. Anyone??? BTW Dan, I've occasionally just sprayed CRC, WD-40 etc down into the compartment through the window hole when the window is down and it's made a big difference to the winding speed, so I must be hitting something that need lubricating. Try and get a spray can that has a little straw on it to squeeze past the glass. The first couple of times I did it I worried that the spray would melt the window tint or something, but the overspray seems to wipe off without any trouble. I also do the runners up the side of the window frame. I've done this to several different windows on several different cars and would do it again before going to the trouble of removing the door panel. Hope this helps. Brian |

Brian, see my similar posting in alt.autos. I finally got the little panel
removed and was able to lubricate the channels of the door mechanism. Dan > wrote in message oups.com... > I'm having exactly the same problem with trying to get the "little > plastic panel" off!
