All windows are power windows. all but the drivers side cannot go down. please advise.

It could be and most likely is the power window motor is bad. Since the driver's side is the one used most often it is the first one to go bad. I would also check the power window switch also to see if it is receiving and giving power to the motor.

Cant figure out how to remove outside door handle on 92 saturn sl2. need to work on window regulator. thanks for any help.

Lift up the handle and look closely underneath. You will see two small black plastic pins. These can be pushed out either way, you will have to buy new ones at an autobody/paint supply store to reinstall. When they are out, the handle will come off.

How do i remove the door panel on a 99 saturn sl2?

Front door remove the mirror first, from the inside out small panel comes off with a screw and two or three large nuts are exposed.
Both doors remove the exterior door handle, lift it up and you will see
two pins which can be pushed out and then the handle comes off.
Get a star driver and remove ALL the bolts holding the plastic panel onto the door frame.
Lower the window and lift the panel up and away, gently.

2002 Saturn SL2 driver side mirror glass broken

Ebay, Craigslist, and local junkyards are a good place to find used mirrors.
They have the options, based on the junk cars in their yards and they can look around in other junkyards online to find the right one. I would not think you would pay more than 20-30 dollars. I had 4 saturns and replacing the mirrors was easy, but then I have a roll around tool box and 30 years of backyard wrenching experience. Basically you remove that interior cosmetic part at the front of your window, dig through the insulation, find the bolt heads and remove them. The mirror comes off and you reverse the process to install.

On my 1994 sl2 Saturn i cannot remove the window i have the panel and the weather striped removed i do not know how to remove window plz help.

I assume you are talking about a door window? Does not come out thru the interior panels. Look around the edges of the door and you will see some star bolts. After removing the mirror and the door handle, take all those star bolts out and gently lift the exterior door panel up and then out. There will be two plastic nuts holding the window to the regulator. Take those off carefully, and your window will lift up and out.

How to take off door panels on a 1998 Saturn SL2 to replace speakers.

You have to take off the door handle. You have to disengage the door locking mechanism from the door handle, then unscrew the panel and take it off.

The door handle unhinges from the locks and from the window controls.

If your windows are electric, just unsnap the cord attached and leave it hanging out.

You may have to work with the door handle as it won't come out of the slot very easily and you don't have a lot of room. A flat bladed screwdriver with a long metal piece should work to unsnap it.

Power window won't operate

Yep! There are two slide pins on the door handle that are very small. They need to be pushed out with a pick type devise. Be careful not to loose them since they will need to go back in the same slot...they can be pushed forward towards the front of the car, or backwards towards the back of the car. Then you will need to take the torx screws out of the inside panel. It might be a # 30 torx wrench...I not exactly sure.
