Pull hard! DONT pull on the pocket, you WILL break it. You need to get plastic tool to get an area pulled away. They're tight!

I don't think there are any screws, I think they just pop off.

I watched the tech remove the panels of my rear doors to service the handles and he just popped them off by slipping a plastic panel removal tool(a little plastic pry bar) under the edge and twisted. It was really too easy, you might be able to just grab them and pull.

Go to harbor freight and purchase their trim removal set of pryers. they are metal, but you wrap them in electrical tape. then it is a simple matter of locating the plastic connectors and popping them out. I had to remove the panels to replace the rear door handle. its quite easy with the right tools.
