Hi, my car is too perfect to mess up and my windows on the drivers side front and rear are no longer working.
I need to remove the panel but cannot figure it out.
Thanks for help in advance

Arm rests are typically fastened on with #2 or #3 drive Phillips screws into speed nuts. Usually hidden near the bottom with plastic plugs.

Window regulators, usually a u-shaped fastener removed with an inexpensive tool made specifically for it. Available at most auto parts stores. Smaller ones may have a machine screw hidden under a metal foil sticker.

The panel itself clips over the top of the door frame and fastened along the bottom edge. Older models use exposed dress screws with captured washers, sometime prior to 1972 they used hidden spring clips. The clips are released by carefully prying with a plastic pry bar, or a stiff metal spatula.

If it has power windows( not sure if any had manual crank windows), there is no win reg to remove. Once you remove the arm rest, you’ll see how the door handle removes. My ‘69 had 3/8” nuts to secure it (or maybe 7/16). It could just be a bad switch or wiring.

Digging into it tomorrow, I saw no screws any where near the armrests but will scrutinize further the vehicle is 100% stock
