98 Jeep Cherokee Window
 

The drivers window went down but roughly and now won't come
back up. The switch activates the motor but the window doesn't
move.

One the web I found that it's a 20 minute repair. Just remove
the door panel and replace a powered strip - a $30 part.

Problem is I removed all the screws but the door panel won't
come off.

An older Haynes manual says that because it's mechanically too
complex,& requires special tools that you should take to a dealer.

Thanking you all in advance for any advice. I have the flu now
so I'll sit on this problem for another day before giving the
job to a dealer.

Your now going to learn about things called christmas trees.
Basically once you get all (all) the screws out. You start at
the bottom (watching the sharp plastic edges) and pry/pull.
The trees can usually be reused a few times, just smoosh them
back into shape.

Here is a linky.

more than likely the regulator cable is broke/seperated and a new
assembly is in order and it runs about 115.00
