Default Passenger windows

2001 Oldsmobile alero 3.4L.

All three of my passenger door windows are broke. Once I remove the door panel, is there an easy way to get into the door so I see what is broken?

I know on my front passenger window, the plastic piece that attaches the window to the cable is broke, but I can't get in to do anything.

Has anybody ever had to work on this and know a secret to getting inside the door frame?

Unlike your other problem, I do know about this one!
The plastic clips that connect the window to the cable are available on ebay, search and you will find them. I have never found another source for those parts.
I assume from your post that you have removed the door interior panel. Next pull off the clear plastic sheet. The gold or tan colored bolts holding the window regulator (the whole motor/cable assembly and metal frame) are metric, around 14mm I think. You don't need to take all of them off just to replace the clips. Just loosen what you must to work your hand in there. It also helps to reconnect the window switch and run the motor until the clip section is in an easier to reach location. I found attaching the new clip to the cable, then to the window was the easiest for me.

Thanks! I wasn't sure how to proceed with this one!
