If if you need to remove the trim panel, there are 3 screws, one phillips behind the sliding manual lock lever, one 7mm under the handle, and another 7mm under the power window switch plate.
Use a small flat screwdriver to carefully pry the necessary covers off for access. You will also need to remove the cover from around the inside handle.
