My door was hit I need to take the panel on the passenger side off so I can hammer out the dent enough so the lock and window works. I can repair the the out side handle? I found one small panel that exposed a screw but I cannot find any others.

There are only a few screws rest are shown which are pulled out you can use a tool for it then panel lifts up and away.

I tried with a tool to take the panel but it felt to me I still had a screw holding it. The pictures you sent only show the one screw. Sincerely, Tom

Use a J 38778 Door Trim Pad Clip Remover to aid in the removal of the side door trim panel.
After releasing all the retainers along the outer perimeter of the door trim panel, hold the panel away from the door and lift up on the panel to disengage the two clips that anchor the armrest into the door sheet metal.
Disconnect the inside door handle linkage.
Disconnect the electrical connectors.
