Answer 1

It's easier than it looks. To remove the door release lever, pull it as if to open the door, and look at the underside. You'll see a T25 torx screw that you can remove to take the lever right off.

To remove the window crank, you have to pop out the little clip on the underside that holds it in place. There's a special tool available to do this:

You can find this tool at most auto parts stores.

Once all the screws are out and the crank and handle are removed, you need to lift UPWARDS on the panel to remove it. Don't try to pry it off; unlike many door panels, it's not held on with pressure clips. It will come off very easily if all the screws are removed.
