I would guess that the 2002 is the same as a 2000. With that said, there are two screws that must be removed. One is on the door skin at the interior door grab handle. The second one is under the power lock/window panel on the door skin (you have to remove the panel should just pull off). Then you have to pop off the small tri-angular trim piece at the top/front of the door skin (by the bottom front of your window). Then the door skin just lifts straight up and out (you may have wires attached to the back of the door skin for speakers and courtesy lights if so equipped). The only tool you need is an 8mm socket to remove the two screws.

Hello,

Make sure all screws are removed, carefully remove the clips between the pane and the door and it should come off. There is a special tool for the clips, but if you are careful, it should come apart without damage. Just do not force anything, take your time, and you should be fine.

Sounds like the window regulators are broken.

Steve,

The lens cover should just pop off. It should just be clipped into place. Carefully try prying on one to see if it will come loose. I believe it should.
