Basically he's right about it. But if the panel has never been removed before, it will be very hard to get loose from the clips that hold it at the very top near the rubber window trim. Mine was probably just a bit rusted there and I really had to pull hard in an upward direction to get it loose. Otherwise, the latch trim just pulls straight out to expose the housing of the latch. That is pulled forward and then out - and then you can pop the door opener rod out of the holder that connects it to the latch.
