Door Panel Removal '03 Si?

Somebody took my passenger side mirror out with their door, and I want to install replacement. I can't figure out how to get the door panel off. I removed the 3 screws under the arm rest, but don't see anymore, or how I can remove any other pieces. I suspect I have to get the Door handle plate off, but don't see how, and don't want to break it. Anybody know how?

3 door?
You took the black mirror triangle off and got the 3 nuts off, but now you can't get to the wires?

The upright handle you grab to close the door: You have to take out the center strip from that to get the rest of the screws. There is a small hole on the back of the handle near the bottom, you stick an Allen wrench (90* bend) through to push the center trim out.

Then pull off the side cover of the armrest.
Then remove 3 long screws and 5 shorter screws, remove the upright handle from the panel

Pull out window switches

pull out door panel using a trim and panel tool, starting at the bottom to release all the clips
Slide door panel up to release from window channel
Then you can get to the handle and cable, but by this time you can probably reach the mirror wiring.
