how do you take the drivers side door panel off

Highly recommend purchasing a repair manual or maybe you have a car savvy friend that will help .. Door trim panel can easily be damaged by improper removal techniques. Some specialty tools will be required.

Hello, this is probably not a do-it-yourself job. But door panels are held on by screws -- find them all and remove them -- and then push pins -- you'll need a trim tool to pry the panel safely in areas where the pins are to pop them out. With no experience doing this, you could damage the trim panel, so use care.
