Default Door panel won't come off. HELP!!!

I have all the screws out and it seems like it's loose on the front and back but acts like it's hanging in the middle. I have double checked everything!!! No luck getting it out. Anyone have any tips on what I might need to do to get this loose?

Try lifting it straight up. I had mine off awhile ago I forgot how it is held on. I think it is sitting on little tabs that connect into the door panel it self If I am not wrong.

After you remove the screw holding in the backing plate behind the door lever and the plate itself, there is one more screw right behind it. It is the same size as the ones in the door handle and down by the speakers. After this, you should be able to pull up on the entire panel. It took a little effort getting mine out.

Like someone else said, lift up to remove it, don't try to pull it straight out. Lock lever, plate with window/lock switches are off, correct? And make sure you didn't miss a screw, I remember one being pretty well hidden.

If you take off the triangle (by the mirror) it helps too. One screw holds it in.
