Remove the door panel (rear right) on a Saab 9 3: disconnect the battery terminals located in the engine bay, remove the plastic covers from the handle, and use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws inside the handle. Remove the trim plastic near the lock, unscrew the remaining screws on the door panel, and detach the retaining clips.

Finally, pull the panel away with your hands and disconnect it from the door (unplug the power wiring and the opening cable). Perform the desired maintenance inside the door.
