Should only take you a few mins to remove the panel. Remove and slide the plastic piece around the chrome door handle, no screws just pop off. There is a 10mm bolt behind that plastic that must be removed. Below the arm rest is a 1" plastic plug that has a 10mm bolt behind that, also remove. Behind the "SRS" square air bag emblem on the door is another 10mm bolt, remove. The square "SRS" just pops off, use a butter knife. There is also a small screw on the side where the door latch is. Next roll the window down and peel back by the window towards you, use some mussle and just starting working your fingers behind the door.
I hope this helps, it is easier than I could write it.
Good luck
Mario

Best of Luck.

I have a training DVD that shows the removal of the door panel and the seat control switch plus lots of other things. The screen captures for the above mentioned video were taken from this.
