That panel is somewhat hard to remove obviously. By looking at it now, you still probably won't realize how it was on there in the first place. There are (I think) three clips that are hidden on the side. You must first remove this trim piece outlined here:
Then you will see the clips I mentioned which you must unclip first.
Then you can gently pry the panel off, which is still fairly challenging. If you are lucky you won't break any clips.
Also this panel is called a C pillar, I'm not affiliated with this listing but I have found a replacement on Ebay if you care to look:

There are three tabs that hook into the C pillar, and can be seen with the windlace removed. A screwdriver is used to pry the tabs so the panel can come forward. The tabs most always break, so the panel may need to be glued so it will stay in place. I am in Hesperia, so it is not far from you......Rich
