Procedure for removing door panel??
Does anybody have the procedure for removing the front door panels? I got it partially loose (some of it is obvious), but there is something holding the panel at the top that is not apparent. And I don't want to "guess" at how it comes off and break something in the process. Thanks.

Sounds like maybe there is the screw behind the door latch,which has the plastic around the edge,which pops out to reveal it.(Phillips head,or maybe a torx).If its out and all the other screws are out,you have to push up on the door panel to lift it off the door.

Thanks for the video link, great question and posting. now I can do something about my door handle trim which is cracked. I was afraid to mess with it since the SRS airbag kind of scare me off. Once again, great post.

Darn Internet dies faster than those cars 
The last video shows rear door panel, but procedure is pretty similar.
From the description OP had a problem to figure out that the top of the panel has reversed U trim that goes into glass slot. You need to push the panel up to have it come out.
