Ok so here's my dilemma, I took the Soarer out for a drive on Sunday got 5 minutes down the road hit a friggin' pot hole and the passenger window just dropped straight down into the door and I can't get it to go back up. When I shine a light down in there I can see that a cable has come off some kind of pulley. How do I pull the door apart to get to the window section? Is there some kind of step by step guide?

Sounds like you will need a new window regulator.

To remove the door trim
Remove window switch (just lifts out and unplugs), also unplug the door light.
Then use a flat blade screwdriver to gently pry the cover behind the door handle and then remove the two screw covers on the front part of the door trim (area closest to the front of the car).
Once the covers are off remove the screws now visible by removing the covers, the are also two screws under the armrest and a couple of screws on the bottom of the door trim.
When you have removed the screws gently pull the lower section of the trim to undo the clips and the trim should come out. Then just pop the door lock and latch cables out.

Unfortunately they can be very expensive to buy new. No idea what a Soarer one costs but I've heard of prices going into the hundreds of dollars for even very common vehicles.

Tim, make sure you get the correct regulator, as you have a 94 car it can get complicated. Give your VIN to the dealer and make sure they order the correct one.
