It's no real problem to remove the door panel.
Disconnect the battery first - when you reconnect, all that is usually lost is the date/time settings. My radio presets stayed in. If you have Active Steering, I think you have to reset that, and it may throw up a fault code - do a search for more details if you have the Active Steering.
Lever out the plastic bung that says "Airbag" and you will see a bolt to undo.
Remove the other, more visible, small screws round the door trim (two or three I think).
Poke a small screwdriver into the small slot in the top of the small rear window blind housing - this will then release a catch and you can pull it out.
Remove and disconnect the puddle light at the bottom.
Unclip the door panel all round.
Lift the door panel upwards to remove it - there is a central hidden clip that slides out - don't try to pull the panel away from the door.
When the panel is off, disconnect the speaker wires. The door handle stays on the trim panel. To unhook the cable, pull the handle as if you were opening the door and the cable and its white clip will slide out.
The window blind is held by quite a few small screws (don't forget one at each end too IIRC).
You should now be able to see what the problem is on your blind.
Replacing the panel is not quite the reverse of removal.
With the panel off, there will be a black plastic clip mentioned earlier remaining on your door in the centre. Gently pull this off (use a pair of pliers to squeeze the metal clip) and slide it into the slot on the door trim. With all the wires/cables connected, you will now be able to push the door back on easily - you won't need to slide it downwards to engage the clip.
Have fun.
