removing door panels?

How do you remove the door panels? I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the panel over the the door and window handles. There looks like there's a little clip holding the handels on, but I couldn't get it off. I tried searching but didn't come up with anything. Thanks.

nevermind I got it.

Panel

There's a special tool made for removing those clips, most any parts store will carry it. A thin screwdriver can also be used but it can be frustrating.
With the tool, it's a 2 second job to remove the clips, then the handles pull straight off.
Slide the clips back into the slots again, then when your ready to reinstall them, just push them in place and it's done.
BEWARE: the clips are a spring and when pushed off sometimes take flight and can be very hard to relocate.

Buy new door handles and you won't have to worry about the clip. I had to do that because SOMEBODY forgot to take the tool when he moved.
