Might want to check the two Torx Screws on the inside of the panel in the attached picture.
Checked the driverside on mine and found one of the two had came loose, snugged it up and no longer feels as though the thing is going to fall apart anymore.

Note/Edit: Should have said "Door Pull Handle" and not the "Door Handle"
EE, since you had the door appart what attachs the panel to the metal frame??

DDWH, Not much to do today so I went out and took these pic's for ya.
Picture one is the sheet metal screw that needs removed behind the "real" door handle and just below the door "pull" handle.
Picture two is a putty knife and a shop rag popping the door control panel up.
Picture three is the control panel showing two of the four plastic "clips" that has to come loose to remove the control panel. Also shows the connectors that need removed to take door panel completely off the truck.
Picture four is the sheet metal screws that need removed in order to start pulling the panel loose from the door frame. I start pulling at the bottom and then work my way around the sides and up.
Picture five is the courtesy light that needs disconnected to also take the panel completely off the truck.
Picture six and seven are showing one each the four white and seven black plastic retainers that you are trying to release in picture four.
Notes: When putting the door panel back on remember to plug in the courtesy light. Then while starting at the top make sure the manual door lock is lined up with the rod then start popping the retainers back into their holes working your way down. Everything else is just reversed.
Hope this answers your question.
