I just did this based on several threads on the subject. Start with the top plastic and get your fingers under the edge and pull outward. You'll get the clips to release just keep going. Repeat on the sides. On the main panel remove the pull down strap by removing the plastic cover and unscrewing. Starting at the bottom of the main panel, pull out until the clips start to pop out, then working each side and finally lift up the entire panel to free the rubber window molding.
Once inside, remove the hex nuts holding the black metal cover on. You can leave that metal panel hang by the wiring while you work on the motor. Once you see the motor, have someone hold the switch down and rap on the motor a few times. Mine freed up with a couple wacks and its been good since. This breaks the rust from the brushes in the motor (so I've read). If its starts working, just use it occasionally to keep the rust from creating an electrical gap in the circuit.
There more threads on this but that should get you inside and I'd bet you can get it apart and working in less than an hour. Good luck.
