There is a screw located in the side of the door above where the locking component is and there is another one under the middle cover in the handle This holds the whole handle assembly in place. Remove these screws (it should be a large Philips head and a small one at the front part) and try removing the handle. removal of the door panel is not necessary no rods connect it to the inner handle and stuff.
After removing the arm rest, door handle, and window crank carefully remove the trim panel. You will see that the window glass is moved up and down by the regulator that is operated by the window crank. The glass runs up and down in two channels, one in the forward and one at the rear. There are at least three adjustment that can be made by loosening the adjustment screws. The adjustments are made using an Allen key after loosening the outer retaining nut. The adjustments allow you to move the channels fore and aft as well as sidways. Most "how to fix your '68 Mustnag" manuals show these adjustments. Good Luck. pnl
