door panel removal Fox 1.2

[bluefox]

Hi there! PLEASE HELP!!! I'm that German girl who's trying to remove the door panel of my 2005 Fox 1.2. The first problem seems to be that plastic ring of the manual window crank, under which should be a springy ring I can get no purchase...while pushing the panel in a bit...is there a trick? do I need a special tool? screwdrivers won't do it...
Now what I would like is a step by step detailed description how to remove this panel in order to check what broke or went wrong with my window manual winding mechanism...and hope I can buy some replacement parts for it somewhere without having to send to Brasil!

Where window handle/crank is the spacer ie the plastic piece between window handle and door card must be removed by sliding it...
