The door panels are held on with push pins on the back of the panel that go into holes in the door itself. You have to remove the screws around the door handle, then pop off the plate that is around the handle. Next, you just pull on the panel to pop the push pins out of the holes in the door. If you do not have a push pin puller, I would suggest pulling the bottom of the door panle out far enough to get a pair of pliers around the pins and using it to help pull the pin out.

Oh yeah - you also have to remove the door lock pin (they unscrew)...

first thing look for any screws holding it i believe there are two by the door latch (the handle) then take a flat head screw driver and gentley pry around the edge of the door pannel once you get it started you can use your hands but what hold it in are these little plastic clips that you cant see from the outside of the door pannel, just pry gentley you dont want to break them, if you break one or two the pannel should still stay in fine. Just go slow and ez
