Door gremlins, 92 200

Hi fellow Brickboarders:

The problems on my wagon's doors are multiplying. First the key would not open the passenger door. Next it became hard to open the driver's door, key had to be a certain way up and had to be turned to the left. Next driver's door could not be locked from outside with the key, had to shut the door, open the rear passenger door and push down on the driver's door lock to lock it and the other doors. So far, the only lock not to cause a problem is the rear hatch door. Yesterday it was impossible to open the driver's door from the inside, I pulled and pulled, did not want to use too much brute strength in case I broke something (door handle had been hard to open from the outside previously, handle itself on the outside is fine). I had to get out of the car at each stop by way of the passenger door, there's not that much room in the front of a 240 and for an older person it is a bit of a performance. I have visions of having to enter and leave the car by way of the rear hatch in future, and that would not be a pretty sight!
Looks like I will have to remove the door panel, the '92 has the electric windows, so does that make it harder to remove? If it is something that I could tackle, I would like to try, just need a dry day we are in the monsoon season out in the PNW right now. Luckily I have my '80 wagon (with a barely operating heater) to fall back on.

As always, many thanks to those who read this and throw any advice my way, you're the greatest. :-)
