The pannel is held on by clips, around 8 of them or so, im bedden into the pannel. Basically, as carefully as you can, you pull the pannel out a little bit to feel where the clips are, and pry the pannel off at the clips. Chances are you will break some of the clips, they sell them for cheap at auto zone etc.... The panel should be a 2 piece. Theres a tiny alan wrench screw to remove the mirror adjust thing. I dont know if youre talking about manual window or electric, but with a manual window, the window roller handle is held on by a little clip that is right up against the inside of the window handle, they make tools for getting those off, but you can use a screw driver, you just have to look and see where the opening of the clip is and push on it. Other than that its pretty easy and self explanitory.
In additional to the plug clips, the top of the the top panel has tabs that are inserted down into the door frame. You have to lift up on the panel after the plugs are freed. But, in order to release those top tabs you have to reach under and push them with a screw driver a bit. If you don't release them properly, odds are that they will break off and the top of your panel will be forever loose. Those tabs are part of the door panel and can't be replaced of fixed.
