Ok, here goes from memory:
pry up the master switch panel on the door handle. When you have that up, disconnect the wiring and set the unit aside and let the connectors hang down. There should be 5 screws: 1 behind the part you just removed, one behind the door handle, one on the rear side of the door (near the lock mechanism), one on the bottom below the courtesy light, and one down on the bottom near the front corner. Remove those, lift the panel straight up, and then out. Be careful to not rip the power window connector off!

SOURCE: How do remove drivers side door panel

First you need to remove the door handle and window crank by pushing back the ring and releasing the handles. Also the arm rest will have screws into the steel door frame that must be removed. The panel itself has plastic snaps that are pushed into holes in the doors steel frame. The trick is to slide a pry bar or even two is better, one on ether side of the clip and force the pin out. You need to be patent and do one at a time. The door panels are made of a less than hard strong material and will brake apart easily especially if they are older. The clips go all the way around the lower three sides and the top will lift off the sill.

How do I remove the driver door panel on a 2002 cadillac deville

DOOR PANEL REMOVAL



Its just fitted with few screws and hidden lock clips. The clips are very delicate and can break easily. But no worry, the clips are easily available.

On some vehicle models these screws are hidden. Once the panel is loose, don't just pull it out, there are few wire connectors connected, first disconnect the connector plug, then lift the panel out and keep in safe place for re-installing.
