Door panel removal

How does one get the door panel off? I removed the 2 bolts where the door open handle is, then I removed the 2 screws along the bottom edge of the panel. Is it just held on with the pressure clips?
Thanks
Rich

1)Remove the screws holding in the Door Handle
2)Remove the screws on the lower edge of the door
3)Pry off the speaker cover and remove the front speaker
4)Grab the door and lift up and out

There are no pressure clips from what I can remember.

Hope this helps

Thanks dude, yes I do have an XLT. I want to put my new speakers in the doors, so by the way it sounds, all I have to do, is pry off that grill, without having to take the entire door panel off....right?
