Default Driver Window will not operate

The driver side window does not operate.I think its the switch.I attempted to remove the side panel and can't figure out how to remove it in one piece. I removed one screw from the bottom,one from the latch area and one in the arm rest. It will not budge,I know there are some clips and things ,I figured I would ask before breaking something. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

U have a window regulator motor that is bad. Key on hold the switch making it go down and with your palm wack on teh door panel just below the grab handle that will jar loose the motor just enough to make it work just a little.
