Pretty easy to take the door trim off and then you can sop up the stuff in the bottom of the door (IIRC though, there's supposed to be a drain down there). Take the window all the way down (makes taking the panel off easier). Unscrew the door panel light and then there's another retaining torx bolt behind it. Pop the caps of the door bin bolts and unscrew them. Pull the plugs out of the door handle and unscrew the torx screws there (you might need a torx "screw driver" for this because the depth is a bit longer than the lenght of most torx tools). Pop the oval cap off underneath the door handle and unscrew the screw there and remove the door handle facia by holding the door handle "open" and sliding the facia forward and out ( more work if on driver's side but essentially the same). Now all that's holding the door panel is some plastic retaining clips. You can pop those with a screw driver and then lift the panel up and out. You should now see a foam plastic vapor barrier that's clipped on to the metal. Carefully remove it (don't loose the clips) and then you will have access to the full inside of the door. If you loose/destroy the vapor barrier, you can use some heavy vinyl/plastic to replace it. Reverse everything to put back togeather. About a 15 minute opp.
