Door panels are all one piece with screws holding the arm rest(sj and drivers door compartment. Once the arm rests are removed, there are plastic clips every few inches that need to be gently popped out without bending the door card too much. The top bolster portion of the door card has three metal tabs that attach at the top of the door and once you have the plastic tabs free you simply slide the door card up and out.

Both sides, there are 3 screws along the bottom of the armrests, then then there are plastic plugs along F & rear sides that will pop out. then lift vertically to release tangs along the top edge. Of course, the window crank & the recess under the interior lock/opener handle screws need to com out. The window crank plastic cover will lift away for access to the screw under.
914 rubber sells new plastic & silicone bits that will probably break when you pull the door cards away.
