i am working on this myself. no answer yet. but a beginning. if you stick a large straight head screwdriver between the panel and the door you can pop the panel out of the door. it is connected by small plastic pieces....just like on most cars. however it still will not come out. it seems that the arm rest is holding it in. the problem being, the screws under the arm rest (there are a few) are too tight for me to get undone. i will continue to work on it as i have time though.
SO, my assumption is that once you detach the arm rest you just need to pop out the panel. the plastic male pieces are connected to the panel so once you are done you just put it back in. it also appears that the inside window seal is connected to the top of the panel so once you get all of the connections undone you would want to lift it up to take it off, then to replace it start by putting the top part over the lip first then reattaching the panel.

Start with the passenger side, remove all the small screws, glove box, some screws hiding around the door panel and on the inside of the door. Remove all the screws going towards the drivers side for the top panel. Drop the steering column, should be 4 bolts I believe. You don't have to remove the dash completely, once the passenger side moves enough, you can get a small hand in there to do the work. It is around a 5 to 8 hour job. Nice of Ford to hide that in there.
