There are 13 platic screws that hold the interior door panel on. I will attach a pic of one. The top black piece also has screws built in it for holding the interioir door panel on. To take off the top black piece you have to let down your windowand pick the black piece out and then up.

Is that out from the passenger side or the driver side?

Pics would greatly help me out. Do I need a special tool to remove the filler channel. I tried removing it by hand, but it didn't seem to budge.

The top of the door panel is held on with twist on fasteners. After removing the entire door panel, lay the panel flat on the ground, and use small pliers or needle nose pliers to slowly unsrew the caps from the plastic stems. After removing them all, you can replace the top piece with new ones and reverse the process. Take your time though as the plastic stems can easily break or strip. Don't overtighten the metal twist caps.
