Its very easy. Pop the tweeter pod of with a wedge. Then unscrew the 3 screws on the chrome piece by the edge of the door. Unscrew the 1 screw next to the door lock in the middle of the door. Then pop the SRS button off from the bottom with a wedge. there will be a Torx screw behind it remove it. Then theres a little button under the door handle/armrest w/another torx screw behind it. then pop the entry light out with a wedge and remove the connectors. Then you can lift the door up and i will pop off. it takes some effort . then disconnect the connectors on the back side of the door panel and the door pull they all should just pop out with a light pull.

towards the back of the door near the top it says SRS on what looks like a button. That piece actually just pops out with a wedge.

heres a picture.
