    Probably having some spare "clips" is a good idea. Anything I should be careful about? Don't want to tear/rip/bend anything!

    Thanks

    Remove the 3 screws and pull on the panel around the edge to pull the clips out of the door. Then pull strait up on the door panel to remove it from the center clip. Unhook the door cable and the power window switch. I have never broken a clip when removing door panels. Once it is off remove the 2 screws from the metal center clip on the back of the door panel. Pry the armest off since it is held on by clue. Then just turn the armrest to get it and the black trim piece free that you are trying to remove. The rear doors are easier then the front doors

    Thanks for the help, Eric.
    Just a couple more questions. I assume you meant "glue" above? If so, this needs to be reglued? What is the best type of glue/adhesive for the task?

    TIA
