Then you remove inside door handle, and if it has a remote mirror, you need to remove the trim ring for it. Also, remove door panel strap. The chrome cover on the ends of the vinyl strap pop off with a screwdriver, and there are 2 screws underneath. Unscrew the window crank with an Allen wrench. Take out all exposed screws holding door panel. Then , the door panel is held on by several clips that squeeze into holes in the door sheet metal. You should get a trim removal tool and slide under door panel until you find each and gently pry them off. There is probably a youtube video of a trim removal tool. I hope I didn't forget anything.

Arm rest is held on by two rather large screws. Window crank is held on by a machine screw. Door panel will have a a couple screws as well and the remainder are small metal friction clips. I use a small door clip tool to pop them out and prevent damage to the door panel. The tool looks like this.

oh yes, forgot about the woodgrain trim. I don't use the woodgrain trim on the doors anymore. Also remote mirror. but Sonic has you covered better. Haven't had my panels off since they went back on 5 years ago.
