If you have a plastic wedge, you can use that to try to pop it out. If not, there's a screw at the door pull. You have to remove the little cover. Screw at the side, believe one (two?) at the bottom or, at the side near the a pillar. Pop clips and you're good to go. Trying to remember from memory so, I may be wrong about some of this.

If you have some kind of small rigid plastic prybar/screwdriver type tool, you can probably remove the switch assy without damaging your door panel. Note that I said 'plastic' and not metal.

Otherwise, just remove the door panel. couple of phillips screws along the bottom edge (dont forget the one near the door hinge), one philips screw in the door look recess covered by a small square plastic piece and you're good. You'll also have to unplug the power mirror and power window switches to completely remove the door panel.

the passenger door is the one to look out for, it has a sneaky screw hidden behind a secret compartment on the center bottom section of the door panel
