Hi Roberta, here's the instructions on how to remove your door panel. I have to wonder though on why you are removing it, my guess is you window doesn't roll up or down and your replacing the regulator. Any way here goes.

REMOVAL

1. Remove the plug and remove screw attaching door pull cup to inner door panel.
2. Remove switch bezel and disconnect power window/memory switch.
3. Remove screws attaching trim panel to door from below map pocket.
4. If equipped, remove window crank. (Refer to 23 - BODY/DOOR - FRONT/WINDOW CRANK - REMOVAL)
5. Remove screw holding door trim to door panel from behind inside latch release handle .
6. Disengage clips attaching door trim to door frame around perimeter of panel.
7. Lift trim panel upward to disengage flange from inner belt molding at top of door.
8. Tilt top of trim panel away from door to gain access to latch linkage.
9. Disengage clip attaching linkage rod to inside latch release handle (INSIDE DOOR HANDLE LINKAGE).
10. Separate linkage rod from latch handle.
11. Disconnect the power door switch, courtesy lamp electrical connectors.
12. Remove front door trim panel from vehicle.

Hope this helps and have an awesome day Roberta!

all this is covered in the FSM. step by step. under body or doors.
2nd best is alldata.com
what door? you never said and steps can very by body options.
name the door,
i guess the latch is bad?
here are the words, for door lock motor.
lots of steps. my wild guess , it the door cover is off.
and the plastic film removed
and you get stuck here,

1. Remove the tape covering the access hole on the carrier plate and discard. Access the window regulator liftplate through the hole in the carrier plate.
2. Push down the door glass (1) and use a slotted screwdriver to release the tab on the window regulator liftplate (2). Lift the glass up and secure to the header.
3. Remove the three screws (2) securing the door latch to the door shut face.
4. Remove the one screw (1) attaching the latch bracket to the door shut face.
5. Disconnect and remove the electrical connector (1) from the door (4).
6. Remove the 10 screws (3) from the carrier plate (2).
7. Disconnect the outside mirror electrical connector.
8. Remove the carrier plate (2) from the door (4). end

once carrier is out there is chapter on that , disassebly

really, buy the FSM
or log in to alldata.com
and avoid making wrong moves, or getting hurt.

This is a common problem with driver side window. Its just a wear and tear problem. Don't go to the dealership, the Regulator will cost you over $230. Go to Amazon.com and search for the part number which should cost you only $70-80 or so. If you go to a glass place they will charge you dealership price plus $150 per hour. I say do it yourself which goes a little something like this.

Ok, I'm assuming you verified that in deed the motor is faulty. You will need to remove the door inner trim panel switches, entry lighting and inner door handle will need to be unplugged/removed there should be a inner weather seal also this seal is important if you would like to keep the inner trim panel from rotting away so carefully remove it. Attached to the window motor is the regulator. The window is directely connected to reg. by two fastening nuts 10 mm. window stops at top of door as well remove. I mark there location when removing this makes adjust alot easier and most times no adjustment needed if marking is right once window is out regulator and motor can be removed I strong suggest that if possible to move the reg. and window motor in full up position to remove motor this is because the reg. has a spring assit to help raising window glass and is under tension to be wary of this fact Three screws attach motor to regulator these screws will in most cases be tight sometimes requiring " Impact Driver Tool" this is a hand used with a ball peen hammer once screws are out reassembliy time If this is your frist time with this type of repair I suggest help of assitant window glass will need to be very carefully handled.. good luck
