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:
