Just take the screw driver and attack the door card

It pulls out from the bottom and sides, then move it upwards from the top rail once all the side and bottom pegs have been undone.

Obviously you have to unscrew the pull-handle, door pocket, slide out the door opener surround, take ou the electric mirror knob and unscrew the lock pin first.

You might want to use a trim pulling tool. Picture a broad flat fork with just two big prongs. Easier and much gentler on trim and paint than a plain flat screwdriver.
