SOURCE: I need to remove the door panel on my 2004 Avalanche
There are plastic clips that hold the door panel inplace .. First look for any hidden screws near the door handle . there might be a little plastic cover that you need to remove with a small screw driver to find the screws.. look under the handle also to see if there are any hidden screws . next take a flat blade screw driver and start at the bottom corner and try gently prying the door panel off . try to stay close to the plastic clips not to damage them by prying real hard .. once you have snapped them loose all the way around .. lift up on the door panel to remove it from around the window lip and out it should come.. holler if you have any problems.. usually The mirrors on the chevys are up above the panel and there is a triangle plastic cover over it on the inside .. it will pry off also gently and there are 3 nuts there that need to be removed .. use caution these fall behind the door panel ... holler if you need more.

the trick is to rock it until it unglues. rock it towards and away from the glass while holding it near the first joint or pivot point. they have special pullers for that but in thirty years I've had to use that tool once. you can also leave the wiper on the windshield and with a light hammer and a piece of rubber or wood tap on the end of that piece that the nut was holding down, on the opposite side of where the nut was, near the first joint. tap it down towards the glass and it will come loose, just watch out for the glass itself. you will get results with light, sharp taps.
