It's pretty easy actually. First remove the little plastic clip under the grab handle to expose screws, remove. Then get one of those door panel removal tools (cheap), run it inside the slight gap between the door panel & actual door (careful not to scratch the paint). The plastic clips have a ratcheting-type design and should pop out when you pry back with the tool. Follow around the entire door until the panel is separated from the door, then lift up and away from the door. That should do it

Easy, as stated above. Remove the snap-in piece under the door pull. remove the two screws. I just used a flat head screw driver and placed it in the middle of back door panel and gently pull out. then use your hands to pull the rest out.It will all pop off, then lift up and off. Takes about 5 minutes or less.
