Rear Door Trim Panel removal:

1) Remove trim from handle grip using suitable screwdriver.

2)Remove screws from lower panel and handle assembly. Also, remove window handle if applicable.

3) Unclip rear door panel using tool # 3392, or equivalent. (often a flat-tip screwdriver will work, be carful to not pry so hard as to damage the door panel).

4) Lift rear door trim up to remove from window slot.

5) Disconnect cable guide as needed.

6) Reverse procedure to install.

The diagram is posted below of the locations of the screws and plastic clips. Some of the screws pictured are removed when the panel is already out, for service of the entire interior door handle assembly, and need not be removed for you purpose.
