Problem removing door panel

I've searched and read posts on removing the door panel on a CLK but I still can't remove it.

Can someone please send me step-by-step instructions on how to do it?

Do I need to remove the black plastic piece under the chrome door handle?

Do I need to remove the triangular plastic piece (I think that's the cover for the tweeter)?

Is there a screw behind the leather door pull? I can't even pull that thing off.

Thanks in advance.

Door panel

I have a problem with the drivers door window going up to far and it returns back down and it has to be closed in a rather awkward manner.
If removing the door panel and tightening a nut or bolt is all that is involved then I can handle that.
I don't want to blow the side air bag while working on it.
Help would be appreciated.
Fax is 503-699-8321
Thanks

I thought that it might be a case of window adjustment at first.
Opened the drivers door and passengers door and put both windows in the up position. The drivers window continues up further than the pass window.
When the doors are closed, and windows going up the drivers side senses that there is an obstuction and goes back down, not stopping in the closed position.
I have a feeling that a bolt the holds the window regulator in place may be loose. That I can fix. Just need to know the best way to get at it. Yes I know the drive from my garage to the dealer may be the "best"way to get at it.
