Remove the screws and lift up. There aren't any screws behind the window switch, it is screwed on from behind. There is a hidden screw behind the lock slider.

The book says 1. remove panel pull strap 2. remove door handle bezel 3. on 1995-2001 models,remove power accesory panel and trim panel upper extension. 4. remove armrest screws and pad. 5. remove window handle,I guess if not power windows.
KD makes a tool to go in between door panel and door to pop the door clips loose. KD 3705
You will also have to have a window crank tool if it is manual window. KD431

The door panels are held on with plastic clips. Chances are a few of the clips will break, but they are not expensive or hard to replace. You can buy a tool from one of your local parts store that slides under the head of the retainer and helps to remove it, but many people do not use them. There are several retainers around the edge of the panel.

a haynes or chilton manual, most of the time a good auto parts store will let you thumb through one at no cost, just remember to carry a pen and paper to take notes.
