This is a general answer for removing door panels on most vehicles. Usually there are some screws that need to be removed. These screws may be tricky to find. Sometimes they are hidden in a carpeted panel. If your vehicle has a carpeted panel, feel along the panel for holes. Screws may also be hidden behind light or reflector covers. These covers usually snap off fairly easily with a flat screwdriver. If your door has a light behind this cover you may need to unplug it or turn the light socket to remove it from the panel. Some vehicles have screws behind a small panel in front of the window space that should snap off fairly easily. You may also have to remove the handle. On some vehicles you have to pull the handle toward yourself and look behind the handle for a screw. If you don't have electric windows, the crank handle will also need to come off. This usually requires a special tool. Screws may also be found along the bottom or side edges of the panel. Once you have all the screws removed, the panel will either need to be pulled upwards and then outwards or only outwards. (make sure your lock lever is pushed down and that you lift over it) If your door has electrical, the plug-ins will have to be unplugged. If you need your controls while working on your door, your control panel should snap out of the door panel and you can plug it in. There should be a plastic 'dust' layer that can be pulled off You may not need to pull the hole layer off. Your door speaker may need to be removed before this plastic. Removing the speaker also gives you more access to the inside of your door. Once you are done working inside your door, reverse all the steps you did. Make sure that you plug everything back in and that everything is put together properly. Make sure that you clean to back of the door where the pastic layer needs to stick. If your panel came of by pulling it forward, the clips may have stayed in the door. If they did, pull them out of the door and back into the spot on the panel they came out of. Put the panel back onto the door. Remember to make sure the lock lever is aimed through the panel. Finally, put all the screws and handles back.

I had to call around for this same thing today. They said if you have the piece of glass, the door panel needs to be removed (obviously). In my case, everything is electric and this unplugs from the door panel. The only issue with doing it yourself is the clips, which may require a special tool when you remove the panel or they can break.
