Default Removing the interior door panels/Bad FM reception

The window on my passenger side keeps latching onto something and does not open more than a few inches. How do I remove the interior panels on the door to get to the power window mechanism. I believe its not a technical issue but merely a mechanical one.

Also, what could it mean if my FM signal barely comes in? My AM signal is crystal clear but I could barely hear the FM no matter what station.

check the connection between your stereo and the atenna, could be the wire came out. The door panel should come off if you pull up and out.

Great thanks! Where is the wire connection for the antenna-stereo located, do I have to remove the stereo...how do I do that?
Sorry bout the stupid questions, its just that Im used to working on bikes and everything on a bike is held together by bolts so if I need to remove something its as simple as removing a few bolts.

Yeah you have to take it out, it's the thick black wire on the back of the stereo headunit on the right side.

I tried taking out the stereo but to no avail...how the hell do you get that thing out?
!? I unscrewed the two screws right under it and tried to wiggle it out but apparently it doesnt work that way. Then I tried to remove that whole panel which goes around the stereo, cd player, temperature controls, and vents but I dont think it just pops out becouse it seems that it goes behind some of the instruments?
Could anyone give me directions on how to remove the stereo? thanks

You need the pin things to remove it if it's stock, if it's aftermarket then whatever removal tool came with the headunit.

Are those pin things what goes into the four tiny square holes at the corners of the stereo?

Indeed they are. I've never had to remove the stock stereo but I've heard if you cut up peices of a wire clothes hanger it'll work to remove it.
