Default Driver's Door Panel Rattle

I've got a rattle in the driver's side door panel, top left corner, closest to the shoulder belt anchor point. It occurs with the radio off, so it's not related to the speakers.

How do you get this panel off? Do I need to remove it completely to check for loose items in this area? Is there a clip in that area that might be loose?

I noticed that, if I just push gently against the panel in that spot, the rattle stops temporarily.
You think I could just spray some of that expanding foam insulation stuff in that basic area so as to create some outward pressure from the inside?

Thanks!
Eph

PS - I searched for pics of the door panel screws, but only came up with what looked like the Japanese version of the RX...

I dug through my PC and found this...It may be JDM, too.
