When the rear window opens and closes (above and independently from the door
swing gate), it activates a switch that is built into the top left of the
rear door. Something on the bottom left of the window depresses this switch
when the glass is closed, and when the glass is raised up (hinges at the
top) the switch is supposed to return.

It is not, and if I tap it very quickly and hard, it'll sometimes come back.

It feels very much like a plastic-on-plastic friction going on in there, but
am not sure if some part of the spring broke----although it does return, and
I /think/ it's returning with the same vigor as before (once unstuck). I've
sprayed everything I could see in there, and I'm actually surprised not that
it didn't work, but that there was *zero* effect.

Any ideas? How hard is this part of the door to disassemble?

Thanks!

If you pronounce them with the extra syllable, you will
sound like a complete idiot.
