Default Window Problems, Door Panel Removal

So today while i was having a cigarette, i rolled my window down and the glass fell off the track or something and dropped into the door. How do i remove the interior door panel so i can get the glass back up in place so my window isnt just all open and stuff. I mean its great for quick entry and exit of the vehicle but in michigan i need security and the installation.

So to all the rest of you some advice and/or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Never messed with putting glass back in the track, but the can at least get you started...

The door panel is held by a single screw behind a little plastic cover right next to the window switches. After removing it you'll have to take out about half a dozen (not sure how many exactly) plastic rivets/clips. The trick to those is pushing the center plastic piece in before trying to pry them out, otherwise you'll break them - only place you can get those is at the dealer and mine didn't have any in the arena colors of beige and taupe, so had to use black ones along the bottom, where hopefully no one will notice. Anywho, you then just lift the panel up over the manual door lock. Unplug the switch pack and speakers and the entire panel can be completely separated from the vehicle and put aside somewhere.

What you'll need to do from there to get to the glass I don't know though.
