should be two small screws on the bottom of the door one in the upper corner one large one in the center near the handle and a 10mm that holds the door lever on. then it should just lift up. drivers pw is making a bunch of noise when being raised or lowered. i suspect that what lube that was on the rollers has been worn off. now for the question. on my earlier trucks the damn door clips were a one time item is that still the case have they changed the power window operation much from the 2k to the 05 if so ill let the dealer do it under warranty. tia roy .

the parts that you guys are mentioning seldom need to be replaced so why would they stock them that is just killing money and valuable space that can be used stocking more needed and / or faster selling items. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving should be two small screws on the bottom of the door one in the upper corner one large one in the center near the handle and a 10mm that holds the door lever on. then it should just lift up. thanks larry. it is moot now. the regualtor has to be changed. so the dealer is ordering it. as a aside have you folks been noticeing that just about everything has to be ordered they stock next to nothing for parts. roy having a large inventory is just having your money sitting on the shelf not working for you. im just glad mcds doesnt work that way. fmb i understand that line of reasoning but ive been waiting 4 weeks for a new drivers seat. tysinger dodge says they had to order it from a vendor. is this normal i sure wouldnt wait 4 weeks for a big mac. ron w. .
