I know this is supposed to be in DIY, but I'm stuck and I'm desparate for help.

I have a 99 328i. I tried to change my left rear window regulator. I already removed the trim. Then unscrewed the 2 screws behind it. I pulled out 2 tabs and unscrewed 2 screws under the armrest.

When I tried to remove the panel, I'm stuck at one point. It's right where the door handle attached to the top (where the button is). I tried to pull it, but it was so frickin tough. Should I keep pulling or should I do something else here?

Can anyone who has experience or Bentley manual help me??? I've been sitting in my garage in front of my laptop for 2 hours waiting for the answer from DIY forum

C'mon guys, a little help here. How about anyone in SoCal? I'll go over to your place and buy you lunch or something?

is the panel kinda stuck on a cord that goes to that open latch/handle?
It's a white piece of plastic in a shape of a fork?
If it's what I think it is, try to wiggle the panel so it lets the cord go off it.

Here a couple of pix of how the door should look like after you take the panel off

O.K. bro hope it either helps or you've done it, cos it should be a nobraner

I haven't checked the latch that much. I don't think it's stuck there. It's actually stuck in the picture below. Is that a pin or a screw underneath? I don't see any openings to unscrew it, but yet it was so hard to take out. I'm afraid if I yank it too hard, I'll snap some cables. I'll check again in the morning where there's a better visibility. Thanks for replying!!

Just in case anyone comes across this thread in the future... The mirror adjustment switch needs to be popped straight out with a small screwdriver and then there is a torx bolt directly behind the where the switch was.

Thanks for reminding everyone but I am sure that was written in the DIY. Maybe that guy should have read it over again, lol

rear window, so just the window switch right? front driver's side has the mirror switch.
