Any one know of any secrets in taking off the drivers door panel? Removed
all visable screws and those under plastic caps. I popped out the bottom
and middle and lift up, but something is still holding on. I need to find
out why the window refused to move...I hear the relay clicking in the door
but no glass movement.

Ok...got the panel off. The window regulator appears to be stuck. Any
advice on removing that puppy and can it be changed with the rear door
regulator of the same side?

Very little goes wrong with these regulators.

The number one issue is one of the window retaining bolts falling out,
causing the window to tilt.

Based on your description, though, I'd suspect the motor may be done.
Plug the switch back in and and try to lower the window while whacking the
motor with a wrench. If the window lowers, the problem was the motor. Of
course, for the nonviolent types, you could simply unplug the motor, and
check for a 12V differential at the connector when the switch is
activated.
