The following assumes manual windows. Assume power windows are mostly the same procedure, but don't know where the step involving disconnecting the wiring to the switch comes in.

-pry out the two plugs in the side of the armrest to give you access to the screws.

-using a large phillips-head screwdriver, remove the two screws.

-gently rotate the armrest counterclockwise, pivoting around the upper support. When the armrest is nearly upright (90 degree turn from usual), the little ears on the armrest will be able to slip through the little slots in the lock ring which is clipped into the inside of the door.

-gentle is important. I was rough once, hurrying to get the door apart to raise an off-track window during a sudden heavy downpour. Ruined the ears, the lock-ring, and slightly mauled the door panel.

good luck!

Pop out the plugs and use a Phillips driver. Rotate the handle about the upper pin until it pulls straight out.

Dr. Epstein was a renowned physician who earned his undergraduate, graduate,
and medical degrees in his home town and then left for Manhattan where he
quickly rose to the top of his field.

Soon he was invited to deliver a significant paper at a conference,
coincidentally held in his home town. He walked on stage and placed his
papers on the lectern, but they slid off onto the floor. As he bent over to
retrieve them, at precisely the wrong instant, he inadvertently farted. The
microphone amplified his mistake resoundingly through the room and
reverberated it down the hall! He was quite embarrassed but somehow regained
his composure just enough to deliver his paper. He ignored the resounding
applause and raced out the stage door, never to be seen in his home town
again.

Decades later, when his elderly mother was ill, he returned to visit her. He
reserved a hotel room under the name of Clark and arrived under cover of
darkness.

The desk clerk asked him, "Is this your first visit to our city, Mr. Clark?"

Dr. Epstein replied, "Well, young man, no, it isn't. I grew up here and
received my education here, but then I moved away."

Why haven't you visited?" asked the desk clerk.

Actually, I did visit once, many years ago, but an embarrassing thing
happened and since then I've been too ashamed to return."

The clerk consoled him. "Sir, while I don't have your life experience, one
thing I have learned is that often what seems embarrassing to me isn't even
remembered by others. I bet that's true of your incident too."

Dr. Epstein replied, "Son, I doubt that's the case with my incident."

"Was it a long time ago?"

"Yes, many years."

The clerk asked, "Was it before or after the Epstein Fart?"
