Answer
Vernon,
 First look over the panel for any screws or bolts and take them out.  Be sure to look carefully for any plastic covers that may be "hiding" these screws and bolts.  Usually find them in the arm rest and door handle.
After you have all these out, start at the bottom and pull out, the panel is held on with clips around the outside.
You will want to have a flashlight handy to look under the trim panel if it will not come off.
Thank you,
