you have to take a small flat blade screwdriver and pop the control out of the door handle. Then get a #2 phillups screwdriver and take the screw out that is in the back of the hole. Use a light to see it better.

Also there is a little "plug" on the lower section of the door panel. pop that out and there is also a screw there. Then if you have all the other mounting screws out of the panel and the lever area, the door should just pull up and off.

This is where door panels are scratched up or destroyed. By your post it appears that you have not removed many panels before. Need the manual.

like said previously, you have to pop the window switch out and then take a flashlight and you'll see a screw behind it that you have to take off.
