Finally, we can remove the grab handle. It is held in with four Allen-head screws. The top two are easy to access, the bottom two are gotten to through holes in the handle base. The rear one of those can be difficult to access due to the flapper being in the way. I was able to work around that--barely. It would have been easier with a "wobble" (ball-end) Allen wrench, but the only one of those I had was a socket and the base was too large to fit in the hole A long Allen socket would have worked even better.
The top:
The bottom:
The door panel is now unencumbered. You can carefully pry the plastic retainers out of the holes in the door structure. On this car, there were only two of those, one at the front and one at the rear, both about two-thirds of the way up from the bottom. I do not know if there were more that have been broken off; check yours and be careful because they are fragile!
You can also see the crossover for the new speakers in this picture.
Once the door card is removed, you should see the moisture barrier sheet.
So those are my adventures in taking the door apart for the second or third time. In another week or so, there is a reasonable chance that I will have pics of the window mechanism removal procedure.
I hope this helps someone else down the road!
