how the hell do u get the door panel off
Remove the screw on on lower left most part of the panel( drivers side)
Remove the screw in behind the door handle, gently pry the power window piece off and disconnect.
There is one screw in the front of the panel
If you have your power window switch in the panel, pop it out and disconnect.
I could be missing a screw or 2. After you remove all the screws, pop off the triangle piece in the top corner, the door panel is held on by clips. I have an assortment of panel removal tools which i use, but you can just yank on that bitch.

Be aware that after you remove all the screws and start to pull the panel off, you're going to have to use some force and it's possible that you will break some of the clips.
When I did it, it sounded like every clip was breaking as I pulled the panel off. If I remember correctly only one broke and the panel went back on just fine without replacing it.

I have a screw close to the top of the front of the door, one near the bottom on the rear of the door, one in the door handle area behind the handle and then there is also one in the cup/grip to shut the door. then you pull the bottom away from door until it pops free, pull the sides away from the door until they pop free, pull the switch panel away from door panel.. Do this very carefully as the corner of the switch panel around the screw hole has a tendency of cracking here. Once pulled off panel unhook wiring plugs from switches and then you can pull the panel off. I have found it easiest to lift the panel from the rear upward, at an angle then slide the panel to the rear and it will allow it to be pulled off with more ease.
