the shifter console has about 6 snap pieces on it. simply pull on it gently and they will pop out. panel pullers work great.
as far as the door panels are concerned.....there is a removable tab in the latch pocket. under it is a phillips screw. remove it. then, there are 3 or 4 phillips screws around the inside, underside, and backside of the panel itself. remove them, and lift up on the panel. it should slide right out. when re-installing it, ba careful to make sure that the window trim is in properly, or it will not fit right....

Most people don't know about the screw behind the window switch and end up ripping out the handle from the door panel.
