Answer
Hi Al -

Well, personally I like it outside - hehe.

Anyway, the door panel is removed by inserting a putty knife or similar object between the panel and the door, and twisting. the panel is attached to the door by an array of screws and snaps.

First thing to do is locate all the screws (philips head) and remove them. The arm rest is probably reinforced by a couple bolts, that has to be removed as well. Once they are all removed, then you can proceed to unsnap the plastic hold downs with the putty knife. When the panel is loose, carefully remove the power window harness, and any other wires attached.

there should be a plastic shield, remove that and you can access the linkage for the door handle. The linkage is attached on both sides with a plastic clip. That is usually the culprit.

Hope this helps Al, and hope you don't reply back to ask me how to pitch a tent - lol
Aloha
