ML320 Window issue Not the Switch

I already did the Switch-(thanks for all the info, really easy) Now i can hear the motor working but the window is not moving. Simply it is as if the window is off track. My question is this....How do I take off the door panel? I have removed the screw under the SRS airbag and removed the little plastic piece around the door handle. Do I just pry the sucka off now or are there more screws?................Thanks for the help.....

Window regulator is riveted to the door frame. So, unless you are good with mechanical tools (including drilling out the old rivets and putting the new rivets), I would say find an independent mechanic. ML door mechanism is not much different than any other car's.

I am assuming that the window regulator is the culprit.
