There are 2 T-25 torx screws behind your pull handle that need to be removed first. Make sure your window is down. Now from either side or bottom, pull on the panel and it should start to pop loose from the retainers.

Easy peasy, japaneeeeseee !

Dude, Be very careful pulling the door panel loose from the door. The anchor points for the pop in anchors are very easily broken which meens a new door panel. ( Ask me how I know, there not cheap ). Might be worth picking up one of those tools for prying ths anchors loose.
