Does anyone know how to remove the inside door panel for access to window mechanism?

There is supposed to be a TSX coupe in a couple of years to replace it.
No major issues and still an average of 30mpg.
Things fixed over the years:
-fog lights cracked (no surprise...they replaced for free)
-spring on coin door broke
-foglights cracked (no surprise..they replaced for free again)
-vtec solenoid failed around 50,000 miles and kept it from going above 4000 rpms
-foglights cracked (lol) (they replaced for free and said they wouldn't do it again)
thats it..uneventful besides that. I change the oil regularly with Mobil1 and use a re-usable K&N air filter.
My own has been gone a while, sacrificed to offroad truck fever, which truck has now been replaced by my second Subaru Outback Sport. The OBS is a fun car to drive, faster off the line than my RSX was due mainly to the AWD, but without the RSX's superlative handling. Good for the snow though.
Almost six years ago I mentioned here that my sister had leased a base 5-speed on my recommendation, and that as soon as she had been driving it for a few days, she had begun to wonder if she would turn it in at the end of the 3-year lease as planned.
Well I'm happy to report she is finishing up year six of her RSX ownership as we speak, and has enjoyed the car immensely. She is facing that same problem so many owners of small sport coupes do: the RSX doesn't fit a growing family very well, so it may very well be gone before year seven is up.
She has never had any of the problems the earlier RSXs came to be infamous for - the strut problems and the transmission problems; in fact hers has never needed any repair.
I was just reading back through a few of the early posts in this thread back in '01-'02, and was viewing with a grin the many posters saying they would keep theirs ten years for sure. In the end, car fever got me and I traded it (a decision I now regret) - how many of you "ten year" folks kept yours?
