2002 996 C4S - Door & Window Problems

Hey All -

I have the following problems with my passenger side door:

1) When you pull the handle, the window moves down SLIGHTLY but not enough to open the door.

2) The door no longer opens from the outside. Opens fine from inside. Played around this a.m. and the Driver side door opens and I feel some tension / a light "crunch" when I open it. In comparison, I feel the Passenger side door resist a little, but I don't feel that "crunch" and other than the window coming down a little, the door won't open.

Thinking of opening it up before I buy the Lock Actuator ($500+). Could it just be the linkage from the handle to the actuator?

And do I maybe need to tighten up the slack on the window?

Probably all best answered if I pull apart the door.... but hoping to have what I need on hand and not have the car "out of commission" while I wait for parts.
