Thanks Bro but it seems that this information never been out on the net, any way i tyred to do it my self , this is how :
1st remove the lower panel usually black by pulling it from the corners.
2nd you will find the upper panel is attached to the door frame with 4 black retainers which you can easily pull out but the problem is with the 4 metal clips that are holding the panel from the top they are difficult to remove i tyred to remove one and broke it :mad:

I find these pry bars work well under panel clips,I picked up a set last year and used them a couple times and I havent broke a clip yet.

I allways use those to pry panels but the clips were held firmly and i used a little of force
