The door panels on almost all cars are easy to remove. There is a big
advantage to doing it this way. You gain complete access and makes the job
easier, and you have the option of lubricating and fixing anything inside the
door.
Pick up some white lithium grase ina tube and lube the winding mechanism.
You'll be glad you did. White lith is also available in a spray can to get
at hard to reach places.
When you are done, use a thin bead of silicone to attach a sheet of heavy
plastic to the inside of the door before you put the panel back on. Keeps
things a bit more waterproof inside the car.
