You need a interior panel removal tool Flat piece of metal... u shaped end. you insert it so the legs go on either side of the door panel clips and gently use the puller to leverage the door panel up. The clip is t shaped with little ribs on the end inserted into the door. You want the tool to go b/w the t and the door. Then it will lift the clip and gently pull the ribbed part out of the hole in the door. Go a little at a time, work your way around...not too much at once or you might break the clip holder off the door panel, or bend the panel! You pull the whole bottom section loose the only part still attached to the door is the top black window sill and handle area. Then you have to work on the door latch. I don't know what door latch panel style you have so i can't give details on that. one the latch is off, the whole panel shouls be free, less the top sill. you have to roll down the window and push the silltoward the outside of the car and slide it up at teh same time!
