  Jim,
  Unlike earlier Audis, the s-car door panels "lift" off rather than pull out.  Remove the door handle outer piece with a small screwdriver... it pries off.  Behind it are two Phillips screws.  Once the door handle is out, then take the lever (chrome opening lever) assembly and slide it forward.  Pull it gently free... then disconnect it from the door latch cable.... there is a small metal clip holding the cable in place.  Cautiously, as the plastic breaks easily.  Another screw resides behind the lever... then there is one at each end of the panel near the window frame... front and rear.

  Once those screws are out, the door panel lifts UP to remove it.

  You will have to remove a blind clip to detach the window mount from the regulator.

  It isn't bad.

  Dave

Thanks Bill,

Anything I should keep an eye out for regarding taking the panel off.....any 
clips or little plastic bits that I need to be aware of so I don't break them 
when pulling and tugging to get it off after I "think" I've got all the screws 
out?

What is the proper lube for this?  Lithium grease?

Thanks again,

Jim

  Jim,

  Oh yeah, now is a good time to investigate unless you don't open it during 
winter?  

  It could just need cleaning an lubing.  Taking off the panel for a looksee is 
not a big deal.

  I had one cable wear out / fray and ultimately jamb, but the motor was fine.

  This just one of them perpetual restoration items.

  Lube the door lock mechanism whilst in there.

  Have fun.  Report back.

  Bill~up n down, as needed~M
