If you need to fix the handle, replace a trim piece, or the window regulator motor, or any other task that requires removing the door panel, follow this guide. First, using a flathead screwdriver, carefully remove the silver plastic trim from its clips.

Then, unscrew the two screws holding the handle, remove it, and unscrew the other screws shown in the video. Next, carefully pull out the plastic trim around the mirror by pulling it towards you. At this point, the panel is only held to the door by the clips around its perimeter.

Use a screwdriver to pry it all around, then pull it towards you to remove it, taking care to disconnect the window switch cable.
