I own a 2002 Buick LeSabre with power windows. Within 1 week both back door windows came off the track (or part that raise 7 lowers them). I looked at the door and can't figure out how to start to remove the back door panel's to get at the inside of the door. I would like to fix this myself because I just got laid off and don't have the money for amechanic....Please Help. Is it possible for a handy layman to repair something like this. Thank you. JOE
