After obtaining a small flathead screwdriver or (preferably) a plastic wedge, remove the cover that hides the side bolt of the door, then unscrew that bolt. Similarly, remove the plastic piece at the top and disconnect its connector.

Unscrew the T20 Torx screw located in the door pocket, then those located at the bottom of the door. When you pull out the panel, work slowly and use a plastic trim tool to remove it gradually from its seat.

Meanwhile, ensure that you have disconnected all the cables. This is a fairly simple operation.
