ken, there should be something in bentley.  but the basics are:  remove
everything bolted through into the door (grab handle, map pocket if
present, lower air vent, and latch), then pop the plastic hold-downs out
using a big flatblade screwdriver right next to the hold down.  the window
and mirror switches (if you have mirrors) will still be attached.  they're
held on with barbs on the casing (the black plastic thingy around the
switch, name of which i cannot recall) locked on the cut-out of the panel.
ease the casing out, then disconnect the switches from the wiring.  that
should do it.

best,
