My 99 Camry power window cannot go up or come down on driver side
rear window. I am thinking to replace the regulator and assembly by
myself. However, it seems very hard to remove the plastic panels.
Does anyone have experience to share? Thanks in advance.

Also refer to the "2000 Power Window Problem" thread. On second try
the panel should come off in about 5 minutes. Check the link they
haven't changed much.

I think your case is electrical, probably a current supply or
electrical path issue. Maybe a DC current draw test will tell a few
things while you operate the windows. After all, both windows don't
bind at the same time in the same direction once a week and then work
perfectly during other times (which should suggest the motors may
actually be OK).

I believe the switch panel is a pry-up. A motor is about $50-76 (reman
to new) on rockauto.com plus shipping. Or for $5 more go to your local
Kragen, Checkers, Murray's, Advance Auto. It's quicker both to order
and for lifetime warranty claims. Also check your local junk yard to
see if the switch panel is available at a low price. I wouldn't
underestimate the usefulness of these places.

Since the motors are the same for the same side, you might attempt
swapping the front and rear on one side to check. It should take < 5
minutes to take the door panel off on your second try. Check the free
online repair guide on an older Camry for reference:
