Default Rear Door Panel Removal

I've got a 1995 ES300 That someone was kind enough to bust out my rear window on last night.

Kind of in a Jam to get it fixed.

I took out plastic plugs on leading edges, the screw in the bottom of the door grab (underneath the plastic cover).

Something is still holding it near the latch. How do I get the screw out ??

Am I missing anything else?

Here you go.

Becareful removing the door handle bezel. I broke mine when i did this 2 yrs ago and still haven't found a replacement because Lexus dealer no longer makes the bezel in all colors they just stock certain selected colors.

Yes, the door handle bezel is the trickiest part to deal with. It has a molded plastic "hook" at the back, on the edge furthest from the door handle itself. This hook goes in behind the door panel. So, when you gently pry the bezel out, do so from the edge closest to the door handle and lock mechanism, and then try to slide the bezel sideways over the door handle.
