The quick write up is, make sure the window is up before you start. Remove the two torx head screw along the very bottom edge. Pop out the hidden access plastic panel under the armrest to reveal a hidden bolt. Remove bolt. Use a plastic panel tool to pry the door release button aluminum housing out and you will find another hidden bolt. Remove that bolt and then you can use a door panel pop tool to go around the perimeter and pop each plastic clip tha is holding the door panel in place. The clips that are along the top of the door panel pull straight out. The upper window rubber/felt will stay on the door. Disconnect the wiring plugs and the panel should be off by now. I am writing this from memory from a month ago. Forgive me if it is not exact. The two hidden bolts are the key and if you have removed door panels in the past, these are no big deal. Here is what it looks like when the panel is off.
