Start by removing the screws located in the upper lever of the door opening and those in the handle, after removing the window switch panel. Use a plastic trim tool to detach the retaining clips of the door panel.

Run the tool around the entire perimeter of the panel, then use your hands to pull the panel away and disengage it from the door. Disconnect the power wiring and the opening cable before fully removing the panel.

Now you can take off the door panel. If necessary, you can now install a new panel or reinstall the existing one.
