How do you get to the window mechanism of a rear door of a peugeot 407?

When trying to close, my rear electric passenger side window is sticking near the top, and then automatically winding itself down again, so that I can not close it properly. When operated it grinds a bit and then stops completely and then winds down again, as if it has caught on something that has activated the child safety mechanism. I am unable to work out how to remove the inner door pannels so that I can check the window mechanism for the obstruction. Does anyone know the secret of removing the inner door pannels?

take off all screws you can see on door panel including underneath door pocket. there maybe screws underneath handle under trim. there is a sneaky screw under a black cover in centre under armrest. look closely! take this cover off undo screw and pull like buggery. clips are strong what hold on trim to door. probably cables knackered on mechanism. replace mechanism.
