ok, I see the DIY but I'm not really understand it... maybe I'm just dumb... but could someone help me out?

so remove the two screws inside door handle compartment thingee... I can do that. after that, I have no clue... btw, I'm trying to remove all door panels including the rear ones (I have a sedan). I have power windows/locks... so what exactly do I do after removing those two screws...

<< Detach door latch by prying out from front,
and detach door latch connecting rod from clip by first unclipping it,
then popping the rod out from underneath. >>

I don't even really understand this part

<< Remove power window switch panel (front of entire door handle).
Contrary to earlier reports, it is not necessary to remove the rubberized rear section of that.
Pop out the front of the handle, and slide forward. Remove the two screws you see in picture 3. >>

it says remove, do I just grab it and push it forward?

obviously I have no idea what to do...

I'm just afraid I can't open the door after I do this... like removing the rod and all... that's why I'm starting at the back

anyway, for those of you who have done this, please help.

Just do it...it's not that hard. Remove screw from door handle and from door latch. Then pop the door handle off (just pull up). If you have power windows you'll have connectors that need to be detached. Then their are two screws holding the panel to the door. After unscrewing those, there's a spot by the speaker where you can pull up. The rest is held on by snaps. Just pull...after all of them are popped push up the the outside corner of the door panel...then slide the door off. Put the door back on the same way...it's a PITFA, but you can do it.
