Starting point.
I have a similar problem for a 2002 Chevy Malibu. I can tell you the window rocker switch comes out with two clips on the window up and down ends just put a small flathead...
you can go to auto parts store to buy a tool to remove snap ring behind handle or you can put a clean rag in back of handle slide back and forth the rag should catch ring and pop it off! GOOD LUCK!
you will need to remove all of the bolts first, once that's done lift straight up. Be careful though. its only plastic and if you break something its not going to be cheap.
First of all make sure you do not have air bags inside the door panel.( I don't think there are but you should be able to tell)If the Malibu has crank windows as opposed to power windows,you will...
