The door panel has screws behind the long wood trim piece, the "SRS" emblem and down low above the storage pocket, they are Torx screws. Remove them and then insert a plastic wedge between the door panel and the door itself and pop the panel loose, it takes a bit of force. Then pull up and release the panel, remove the cables and carefully take loose the vapor barrier, I use a razor blade.
