First, remove the caps from the handle and the door pull and extract the screws located underneath them. Next, remove the glove compartment from the handle by disconnecting the plug and also remove the trim around the handle which is clipped in place.

At this point, all that remains is to pull away the door panel, which is held in place only by clips, as the only two screws were removed earlier. You can use just your hands to do this, but if you have difficulty, do not hesitate to use a flat object to lever along the edges of the panel.
