This is easy to do!
1st unscrew the door cover. (there are several little round plugs the cover the screws int the handle and bottom half of the door. you will need a small knife or screw driver to unplug them.) there is one also hidden in the handle.)
2nd unhook the the power supply to window/door switch
3rd there is a white clip that has two bolts that actually connect to the the window.
you may need to roll the window down to the half way position to access it. once you take those two bolts out there will be two black clips that you need to push out. the window will then come free. be careful because you will break it if you do not have help holding.
If there is no faster head visible then it likely is attached with a clip on the backside of the crank handle. slip the handle between the handle and door panel to remove the clip.
