Agreed -- this is super easy.

There are two (maybe 3, can't remember) phillips screws at the bottom of
the door panel, a torx screw inside of the door handle (pull door handle
as though you were going to open the door to expose), and a screw at the
top front of the panel (can't remember if it's torx or phillips).

Once the screws are removed, you can lift the door panel up slightly and
it will come out. Be very careful at this point to disconnect the
little plastic clip that attaches the door handle linkage to the door
latch. It breaks easily :-) Only pull the panel out as far as you need
to reach in and disconnect the plastic clip.

Also be careful to lift up the door panel far enough to clear the door
lock, but that's a bit more obvious.

Thanks,

-Bill
