Sure do..... Welcome to AFM. Lift the door cup(that is the one where your handle is) there is a slot where you can take a screwdriver and pry it up gently. Once that is lifted a little, gently pull straight up on all corners, this will makes sure you don't break the clip on the other side of the door cup. Unscrew the door lock/window switch from the cup. That shouls be one of your problems, not sure what is wrong with it, but it may be loose or broken. There should be 2 phillips screws underneath the door cup, unscrew those, and lift the door panel. Oh wait, not sure if there is a centering clip on the front of the door panel by the hinges. It would be a plastic piece that looks like a big nail head, jusat pull on it.(I have one on my '01, but can't remember if my '97 had it, just check to be sure, but I don't think so.) Anyway, lift the door panel straight up, and it should come off. There are a couple main points to this. The top of the door fits in a slot along the window, and the bottom of the door panel fits in slots along the door frame. The bottom ones are important because it will rattle if any of those are broken. You'll see what I mean when you get the door off. Take your time and lift straight up on the panel.

BTW, good luck with those hinges, they are a PITA.
