Just remove the screws 2 or 4 (mine had 2), then get in behind the panels and pry off the plugs from the receivers in the door, they may be a bit "petrified" if they are old, and break, but easily replacable. window crank off, pull the door lever out a bit and lift the whole panel up and out from the window lip. Ive done it a few times in the past few months while adjusting the convert top frame...not to hard..
