There is a speaker in that door so I suggest you ask this question in the Navigation and Audio forum. The folks interested in Audio improvements. regularly take the interior out to change speakers and add sound proofing materials. ajm

replying to myself:

1) remove the top b-pillar cover; two screws, pull it up and out
2) remove the visible screw that's in the inner slanted area
3) pull the side rubber trim off
4) most of the actual trim pops off really, pulling and plenty of clips but nothing too tricky

at the end, for a dent in the club door where I had it (up high, nearer to the door handle if anything) he had to make a hole on the side and then plugged it. You could get to the dent through the speaker (after removal) but not enough leverage

BTW I used bostondentpro.com and he did an amazing job. It's like magic...
