Assume you're talking about the interior panel..

Two screws hold the pull handle on. Need to be removed.
Some have two screws at the top of the panel, front and rear ends.
Two more on the door near the bottom, a clip which wraps around the door frame. A flat head screw in each.

Did you get the lock **** off? If you have manual windows you'll need to remove that handle as well. Both use hidden clips.

Hi R06,
BB's information is right on.
I'll only add that in addition to what he listed there are also some plastic 'velcro' type connectors that hold the lower part of the door in place even when ALL the fasteners are out.
If you look between the interior panel and the door's frame you can see them, so you'll know where to pry.
Good luck!
Regards,
Alan

PS: The interior handle/release lever needs to come off too. Even though it doesn't touch the trim panel it traps the panel in place.
