Default rear quarter window won't go up

How do I remove the cover? So far all ihave found is a plastic plug, removed and the cover won't come off.
This is for a 92 convertible (2 seater)
Thanks!

I had this issue on my 94. Window would work intermittently.

Swapping relays didnt make a difference for me though this is where you should start.

I eventually cleaned the connector behind the rear speaker panel (I was putting in new speakers). Ever since it has been working. I believe that connector gets corroded easily because it is exposed when the top is down. Mine was covered in electrical tape but it still was heavily corroded. I cleaned it with deoxit and it has been working ever since.

You may want to try holding the top button down for a while longer after it closes. If it is a bad connection or if the motor is going bad, this will allow it more time to 'catch' and put the window up.
