2001 V70 Passenger Door Panel Removal

OK, I got all the plastic plugs from around the edge out, but now I'm stuck. I obviously have to gain access elsewhere (handle, latch, etc.) to get the panel off. Help and thanks!

The handle snaps apart in two parts...then there's the surround around the door latch that has to come out- it also pops off... a bone tool or blunt butter knife wrapped with duct tape (except for the part you insert and pry with) will help a lot. The door panel itself lifts UP and then out, not just straight out- hope this helps.
