Default inside door panel removal

left rear outside door handle became loose recently and "free-play" while pulling to open the door. Not sure how but the yellow clip pictured below became undone and probably would have eventually separate from the housing if I didn't fix it tonight.

In the process I took some pictures for others needing to remove the door panel. I used plastic trim removal tool to remove the plastic covers including the window switch to access the screw inside. Window guide pictured will also separate from the panel and it would be easier to remove/assemble panel separately.

There is a third screw where the arrow is inside the area where you grab to pull the door shut. That felt piece is just laying in there, pull it up with tweezers or at the edge lift with a very small screwdriver. The screw is under that.
