Default Wndow Question

THE GUY THAT owned my 98 before me said that he lost a spring or something off the window when he was doing the tinting. so now the window wobbles a little, and it has to be pushed out a tad on the way up to get it to go up all the way. otherwise it doesn't line up. i havent pulled off the door panel yet, so i guess its' a two part question,

1. how does the door panel come off? and
2. what the hell was he talking about?

if any one has some pics of this or what not, that would be great. don't mean to sound dumb, but i have no clue about the fourth gen cars, and i don't want to break anything.

The only thing that I can think of that holds the window steady are the window stabilizes which are on top of the door when you take off the panel. You know a window stabilizer is broken when your tint gets scratched when you roll it down. Maybe that's what he's talking about. A window wabbles when one of those things are broken.

As for the door panel, make sure you pull the panel up then out. It not one of those panels where you just pull out.
