The panel is held on by a few screws, the handle, and plastic retaining clips. Remove the screws, door handle, and then the plastic clips are between the door panel and the door. Gently, pull the panel away from the door so you don't break the clips.

Thanks so much. Just paid out a $ 1,000.00 for some work the garage did. Two days later someone backed into me in a parking lot. Thanks guys for all your help. This woman is extremely thankful.
Have a marvelous week!
