Thanks for the info etlsport - I'm going to try it this weekend. I wondered how that black part that houses the window switches came off. Hopefully I can get that part off without marring the plastic!

i just went out and messed with mine to get a pic.. i managed to pull it off by hand w/o any tools, just started in the corner towards the footwell.. you can see the two clips that hold it in place on the right side in this picture then the tab that goes into the door panel on the left side

I think it was Nurfzooka that had an exellant link call how to do window lube.

It had great step by step pictures of how to remove the door panel and switches.
I could not find the link today, it might even be on Moncha's home page.
Sorry, I don't remember the link.

Just a piece of plastic sheeting (film) to stop drafts from coming into the interior.
Probably also called draft stop. I used 4 mil poly, commonly used as vapor barrier behind sheetrock on exterior walls of houses.
That's my story, & I'm stickn' to it !

yeah, nerfzooka had it... but i havent been able to use any of his links in awhile.. oh well.. rowhards (i think) writeup on how to replace your outside door handle also gives a very good description of how to remove the interior door panel

vapor barrier!
