1. Disconnect the battery (very very important).
2. Pry out the air-bag badge with a flat blade screw driver, under the torx head screw.
3. Pop out the little plastic screw cover, undo the Philips head screw.
4. Locate the right side of the panel near the lock, lift the edge with your fingers and apply a little bit of force. the clip should pop.
5. Work your way around the door panel until all the clips have popped out, the panel should be hanging by the top top clips.
6. Using the same gentle force, pull the panel away from the top clips starting at the lock side, it will then be hanging by one last clip in the middle.
7. Take hold of the door handle and lift upwards to release the middle clip, use a pair of long nose pliars to release the clip from it`s mount once the door is free.
8. Disconnect the air bag cable, disconnect the speaker cable and disconnect the switch pack cable. Also release the door handle cable.
9. reverse to re-fit.

Most important step is #1 above. I found out the hard way.
I need my airbag warning reset.
