You won't need to take the panel off to change the window crank handle. It is held on with a c-clip and a flat tool that can get between the panel and the base of the handle will be needed to get the clip off so the handle will come off.

The passenger side window, something broke down in the door, the motor for the power windows still works, but there is nothing holding the window up? What broke? Is it a do it yourself job to fix it?

Its the window regulator thats broke. Most are made with plastic brackets and cable. The plastic breaks and the cable goes nuts then nothing is holding the window. You need to get a regulator, if you can take the door panel off you should be able to handle installing the window regulator.

Driver side front door window will not move. Some sound, but no movement. How to Replace Window motor regulator on this 2000 Buick LaSabre Limited driver's door with multiple controls: Locks, speakers,...

First the door panel must be removed,then you can tell what part is broken.It will probably be the window trac assy.To replace that you must drill out the 3/16 rivets that hold it in and then replacethem with 1/4 -20 bolts on re-assembly.

1997 buick lasabre. How do you remove the front left door panal. The window does not work. When I press the switch I can here it click

Make sure the switch itself isn't bad. Pull the power window control assembly. I think there is a clip in one end that you push and the panel pops out. The switches are interchangeable so just swap one of the GOOD ones for the driver's switch and see what happens.
If you have to remove the panel, go to O'Reilly's or AutoZone and get a door panel removal tool. This will pop the plastic clips around the door panel. You may break a few but replacements are at the Auto store also. If I remember right, there are 2 large screws that secure the armrest to the door. Might be hidden under a plastic trim plate. BE CAREFUL plastic breaks. Good Luck

How do i remove the rear passanger 2000buick lasabre door panel.

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door
