Any advice for those removing door panel with windows up?

Like the title says, I'm trying to remove the door panels on my 91 GTA so I can replace the window motors but I'm having to do mine with the windows up. Every how-to procedure and video explains/shows it as being very easy with the windows down but unfortunately for me, my windows won't go down. Not even an inch. Are there any tips or tricks to remove the door panel with the window in the up position to make this easier? I'm having a hard time getting anything to budge other than the outer edges.

It was a major PITA, but I was able to successfully remove them in damaged. I believe it was a combo of everything listed, but #2 is very important, I used a few extra long screw drivers to keep them unclipped while moving to the next.

Thanks for posting that thread. I'll try some of those techniques tonight when I get home. Do you remember how many clips there are?
