What are the steps to remove the front exterior door panel from a 2001 Saturn L300?

Sorry about two pictures. Found this on youtube, video showing how to remove blower motor. In the text, you can see years listed and it says l300. In the video, they removed windshield cowl to get at blower motor. The cowl is at base of windshield on the outside. you can check out the video and see what you think? good luck.

Thank ypu.

Front door remove the mirror first, from the inside out small panel comes off with a screw and two or three large nuts are exposed.
Both doors remove the exterior door handle, lift it up and you will see
two pins which can be pushed out and then the handle comes off.
Get a star driver and remove ALL the bolts holding the plastic panel onto the door frame.
Lower the window and lift the panel up and away, gently.

remove the door handle, lift it up and you will see little plastic pins you can pull or push out. take off the mirror, look underneath the interior cosmetic mirror panel and you will find the bolts holding it on. Get a star driver and take out ALL the star head bolts holding the exterior panel onto the door. Lift the panel up and out.
