I tried to remove the front passenger door panel, but after removing all the visible screws and the screw under the door handle, I was able to slightly lift the panel up and away from the door, but there seemed to be something holding the panel to the door around the power window and door lock panel. I tried to remove the panel, but I didn't want to force it. Has anyone removed the panel? Thanks for any instructions you can provide.

You have to remove the window switch by carefully pry it up from the front. Then remove the screw behind it. The door bezel around the door handle will need to be remove too.
On the bottom edge of the door you will see a few screws hidden+ the push in clips(push the center of the clip in and pry out the outer part).

Thanks for the info. I got the screws hidden under the rubber seal at the bottom of the door out, and I got the push in clips out, but the window switch panel just doesn't want to pry loose. Are you sure you just pry from the front of the panel?

Yeah the clip is really tight. You may need 2 small flat head screw driver, one to lift up the window switch panel and another one to push the clip. Try to tape the tip of the screw driver with electrical tape, so this way it won't mess up the leather on the door.
