I guess you removed the black plastic trim piece from the inside of the door panel to get to where you are now? Did you pull on that piece of tape looking stuff to expose the hole over the other nut?

I don't remember how many nuts hold the thing on, but there should be a round hole in the door in front of each nut to allow you to stick a socket and extension in there for removal from what I remember.
Is the tape covering up the other hole also? It's been a while so I don't remember.
Edit: There are rubber plugs covering 2 of the nuts. Did you pull the rubber plugs out of the holes to access the nuts? Is your issue with the forward nuts or the rearward ones? Have a picture you can share?
