Any Ideas? Thanks, Monte   Paul D.

Pry under panel next to each plastic plug. Go slow and plan on breaking a few off those plastic plugs. Don't forget about the phillips screw holding the interior door handle cover on.

I preformed the swap 3 weeks ago and used the same method Paul did for the prying. The pannel is flimsy when not anchored so it may seem like you are breaking it but it is fine once you re-anchor it.

It's more forgiving than the screwdriver method.
