Your best bet would be to ask your dealership to show you the manual step by step for taking off the door panel.
I saw my dealership foreman meticulously taking off the door panel with a plastic tool and some masking tapes when replacing the side mirrors. (my VentureShield clear bra installer (EXCELLENT EXTRAS in Toronto) scratched the mirrors with a blade and I had to replace both the mirrors)
He could successful take off the panels and put them on without marring the paint or scratching the interior. But you really have to be very careful. It would take approx. 30 minutes to take a front door panel.
Hope it helps.

it took me about 10 min. to take off a front door panel. just pop off the trim, unplug the harness, unscrew like three screws, and lift up and out. the only problem is putting it back on. after its tinted you don't wanna roll down the window, but thats the easiest way to put them back on. the top of the panel has to kind of hook onto the top of the door itself and its kinda tough to do that with the window up.
