96 XLT door panel Stuck

[coolhead64]

I have removed the two screws and pulled out the push clips all the way around, and i took out the light, but i can't get the door panel to slide up, is there some way i am supposed to remove the power window switchs and what not, i feel real bad cause i worked in a body shop for a year, lol.

You are correct. Explorers are all push clips. There was a few that had a slide hook up near the mirror though. Either way, some times it binds up where the glass meets. First make sure you can lift the bottom of the pannel at last five inches away from the door. If you can you are well free. If you cant you still have a clip or two being stubborn.
