Rep Power: 241 firstly, do you have a sedan or coupe?
edit: profile say sedan.
There are two screws holding on the door handle (part you open the door with) behind a little piece of plastic that just falls out when pried with a screwdriver (can't miss it). If that's all you want then make sure to disconnect the power lock wiring and door opening rod before pulling it off. If you want the door panel off then you have to take off part of the big handle (part you close the door with). I have yet to find an easy way and b/c of that my piece is knarled up so be careful. You will find two more screws and then just pop everything loose after prying out the piece by the mirror. Make sure to disconnet power windows too. Once all popped out lift up (easiest with window down) and it should come off.
Here's a pic to let you know what I mean by big handle piece:
