Remove 5 screws on bottom of door panel.
Remove 1 screw at arm rest.
Remove 1 screw on upper corner near speaker.
Remove 1 screw for power window/mirror/lock assembly. Then remove 3 screws that holds the power window wiring. Last remove power mirror wire plastic; make note of which plastic piece goes over the plastic notch (key).
3 plastic lock tabs on the door opening side and 2 plastic lock tabs the hinge side also keep the panel in place.
3 clips are on the top of the panel where the window rubber is. Gently rock the panel to get these clips off the door, paying attention to the door lever and lock indicator. It may be better to lock the door so the lock indicator on the top doesn't get in the way.
Slightly angle the panel after getting top clips off to maneuver the door handle.
I believe those plastic locking tabs are designed to break and thus need to be replaced if you care.
Good luck.
Adding more info.
1 more plastic locking tab under the door handle. This one might break the panel plastic.
Lastly, take door light off panel, kind of a plastic screw type housing.

All there is is just screws around the outer sides of the door panel(3 on bottom). There is one located on the arm rest where the handle is. Then you need to take the screw out where you can lock your door and open your window ect... And just move the panel around until it comes off. You might have to pull the door opener out a little to get it through that hole.

Remove the door panel and on the inside of the door is a clip or a couple of nuts you'll need to remove. The door handle will fall out.
