Removing Door Panel?

Due to a bone-headed move by the guy driving my vehicle last night, my company issued parking placard ended up inside the driver's door of my '05.

I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet but was wondering if anyone has taken the door panel off one of these. It has power windows and locks if that matters.

What holds the panel on? Are there any hidden fasteners? Any tricks or tips?

Thanks in advance.
