How hard to change door panel?

My door panel where all the door lock and window controls are is scratched to bits. (probably like every one else's) The panel isn't that expensive, but is it an easy replacement? Do you just pop it out?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I'd dig out the thread for you but it's just as simple as popping it out. Start from the pull/back of it and slowly work your way towards the front to pop it out. The switches also pop out (dunno if that's held by screws though).

I'm personally going to do it sometime soon, just haven't had the time.

yup you can simply 'pop' off the window switch trim pieces. i start from the back pointed corner and just run my fingers underneath to pop off all the clips. there are no screws on holding those trim pieces in place.

Its easy, if you have a screwdriver style pry bar you can put some masking tape on it and pop the trim out from the seam down in the hand hole. I did it from down there so that I wouldn't damage the plastic on the main door panel.

To the OP,

I have a new in box drivers side piece if you're interested. Dealer actually warrantied it for me, but I bought it thinking they wouldn't. PM me and I'll send pics.
