UGH.... I have had my door panels off a couple of times. It is pretty easy. I am guessing one of the plastic goodies in there either came detached or broke. Either way it'll be an easy fix (I hope).
Here is the Pelican DIY I used to get the door panel off;
Thanks Chuck, did I mention I hate working with interior parts.....especially door panels......they never seem to go back the same way they came off....this is a great bunch of people here
I just replaced the driver side window regulator. I bought these tools from Harbor Freight and they made the job way easier. I didn't break any of the panel clips. The mirror cover pulls out at the bottom and then slides up the pillar to release. I ground off some of the burrs on the pliers and then wrapped the working end with electrical tape to help prevent marring. I wished I had these pliers 30 years ago. I have used the plastic tools for all sorts of prying and adjusting.

sounds like the spring broke as described in the previous thread. i had the same happen to me. i opened it up and lucky for me just a small piece of the spring broke, the "hook" end that grabs the handle mechanism. i just made another "hook" with some thin pliers and worked just fine.
