Today Im gonna fix my shattered mirror and pound out the dent. But when I went to pull the door panel off around the edges, it kept feeling like maybe if I tug any harder I'm gonna break something. So I'm wondering, how do I remove my panel without breaking something? :o

Try calling the dealership. Maybe just have the dent professionally tugged out and the mirror fixed? Not sure what they would charge but you may get a more satisfying result with that.

You found the one screw in the door-pull... there's a hidden one behind the plastic lock switch. Use a flat-bar to pry it off, (the whole thing comes out of the leather - not just the 'flipper') and you'll find the other 5/16" machine screw. Then just lift the panel off all the plastic clips.

Ta-da.

Remember to remove the black plastic on the inside of where the mirror is. It's just 2 push-clips and a plastic hook. Then the door panel can slide freely upwards to be removed.
