Sorry about some of the photos. I was having auto-focus issues. Unfortunately it means I refer a lot to the FSM pics.
1) Remove the seat, hat shelf and disconnect the front seat belt.
2) Remove the upper trim panel using the steps in FSM 68-449. Look at the attached pic for tips to not break off the 25+ year old plastic clips.
3) Lower the rear window all the way. Use gentle pressure if needed.
4) Removing the lower trim panel causes some problems. FSM 68-456 step 7 says to pry it with a wedge. On my car there is a small hidden screw in the wiper. You have to move the rubber out of the way to see the head. I used a #1 Phillips to unscrew. It is semi-buried in the wiper rubber.
5) Unplug the window switch from the bottom and replace with a spare switch. Don’t have a spare? If not, push the switch ONLY out from the trim panel. Leave the plastic surround in place, then put the switch back in the wiring.
6) Remove the metal cover per 67-400 steps 1 thru 3. If you can’t get your window down you’ll have trouble with the outside bolt near step 3. The three interior bolts may be hidden by sound-deadening padding. A ratcheting 10 mm box end wrench with a hinge is the tool to have here. In total there are four 10 mm bolts without washers.
