Screw along bottom to left of center. Screws on door pull strap. Screw in center by open lever. screw on door panel edge lock side going into door edge. then bump up from bottom so bottom of panel will clear it's clips--an inch or so movement is necessary. Remove electric window panel by prizing up and remove wires from it. These have plastic clips on the connectors to hold out so they will pull apart. Doing this from memory on a 98, but the main difference in this and other door panels I've done is the bumping it up from the bottom instead of prizing out those push pins.
