    I got the following instructions:
    "Unsnap the plastic appliques from the door pull strap and remote
    bezel.Then pull the front edge of the bezel outward and push the bezel
    backward to release it
    Remove the mounting screws at either end of the pull strap and remove
    it from the door panel
    Not the installation angle of the window crank handle and then remove
    it.To do this use an allen wrench to remove the allen screw from the
    center of the window mechanism shaft
    Remove the retaining screws from the lower side of the door handle and
    remove it
    There are spring clips mounted to the door panel which slip into holes
    drilled into the door metal.Using a flat stick gently pry the panel
    off the door at front back and bottom to release the clips
    Lift the panel straight upward to release clips which retain it to the
    inside of the door by running down into the window slot."

    That's great, but there is a "Z" shaped bracket that attaches the door
    handle to the door. There is a screw at either end of the bracket, one
    attaching it to the metal door frame and one attaching it to the
    plastic door piece. The space between the head of the screw and either
    piece is not large enough to get a screwdriver down in there. This is
    the only place the panel is still attached to the metal frame. Any
    ideas?!?
