If you want to remove the door panel you'll need a large and small phillips driver and a panel remover tool. I use a butter knife.
The trim behind door handle comes off; use small phillips. Screws are hidden by a fiero logo and a round cap that prys off. Armrest comes off; large phillips. The panel is attached to the door with plastic clips. I slide a butter knife between panel and door and slide it around the perimeter until you hit a clip and pry panel away from door. Think there are 7 or so clips.

Believe it or not we called those plastic Clips at the factory, Carrots. not that it matters as long as we are talking about the same thing, just a factory thing I guess. but when ever I go to the dealer parts department and ask for them I ask for door pad carrots and they know what I am talking about.
Anyway, yes take the door pad off, pull the plug off the window motor and put it on and off a few times, sometimes its just a bad connection at the motor plug from years of corrosion. if the motor is only going up half way it may just be the window is creating resistance in the old guide slots. try running a flat bladed screwdriver up and down the track that the window goes up and down, cleaning that may remove any dirt in the channel.
if that doesn't work it may be a faulty circuit breaker in the fuse panel, if you have a spare try replacing that. the electric windows use a circuit breaker not a fuse and years of use, think holding the window button up or down after it has reached the top or bottom can wear out a breaker.
it can also be you aren't getting juice to the motor, the switch itself is short, again years of use, GM uses a reverse polarity to move the window up and down, my old yard plow, 79 GMC truck the switch went in, so I just hook a battery charger up the motor connections and the motor goes up when you connect the + and - to one side and down when you hook it the other way. that completely eliminates all the switches, breakers and even wires, it will get the window up in a pinch, like now its winter and you need it up. then come summer when the weather is better you can hunt the real problem down when the weather is warmer.
Oh ya GM also have a reversing thing, sorry can't think of the name of it now, when you push the window switch in one direction that tells the thing to send the polarity in one direction and when you push the switch in the other direction it tell it to send the polarity in the other direction.
Anyone of those things can stop the windows movement if they are defective, as well as a bad wire someplace anywhere in the system.
