I found this article at the gowesty site very helpful:
http://gowesty.com/library_article.php?id=314

You don't need to remove the entire panel, just the
area towards the rear.  Remove the rear vent on the
door if you have one (two screws I think) and then
gently pull on the panel - you can use a putty knife
or similar to find the panel clips, that pull out
easily once you get a feel for it.

If you are going to do these sorts of projects you
really should buy the Bentley workshop manual, I find
it very helpful for understanding how things are put
together, so I can take them apart.

Good luck
