yah i agree whats ur particular model, regardless of that ur gonna have to remove all the screwes holding it into place and tehn with a flat head screw driver start popping off the holding bracket "thingies" (technical term) all around the frame of the door, ur eventually gonna be lifting the panel up and off the door while easing the door handle thru its openning, but my best advice to u is "get a pair of balls and just start ripping it off" use common sense and dont hurt anything its always easy once u start doing it and realize what uve got infront of u instead of asking a whole lot of questions, (assuming ur a guy) we dont ask for directions unless we get lost, so follow Nike's advice and just do it.

For my civic, I had screws for the door handle and the coin pockets. Be mindful of the metal hanger that goes from the door handle to the door locks. There was also a plastic/spacer screw near the console indent on the door. There is a black trim near the glass to watch out for too. Then I just wedged the panel out carfully as they are held in with plastic pins. Unplug the wires to the electrical locks and window controls if you have them too.
