First you need to remove these three items. On the left, use a screwdriver or something to poke the center of the clip. After that you can pull the clip out. In the middle, you need to remove the black plastic cover behind the handle. On the right you need to remove this plastic on the handle. See the next photo to see how I removed the black cover. The pull handle, I stood behind the handle and used both hands to grab the forward edge of the cover with my finger tips.
Cover with some tape and pry this cover off.
Now remove the screws behind the cover and triangle piece on top. The triangle piece just pulls off.
After that, starting at the bottom corner near the light, pull on the door panel outwards to release the clips behind the panel. They are mostly on the bottom but there are some along the vertical edges.
Once the panel clips are free and just feels like it's hanging by the top edge, grab the bottom of the panel and lift or rotate CCW. The panel is hanging by some clips that hang on the top edge of the door and you are going to need to release these.
Once you get the panel off, you need to disconnect three wiring harnesses and the door lock and handle combination. The circled area on the left, there are two wiring harnesses for the power door lock and one for the windows. Just squeeze the clip and pull to release. The handle part is clipped by the top and bottom.
The light at the bottom, you can just push the light out to make it easier to disconnect. Push the light from the back side to pop the light out. Remove the light and leave it off. It's easier to reassemble later with the light left off the panel.
Door panel removed.
