Default What's the proper way to remove door panels?

Is there a special technique or do you just pry the edges and pop out the retaining pins; like on other cars? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Other than that, is it just a matter of pulling it off?. I just don't want to break anything.

I think your choice of tool company makes a panel pop off tool for panels, but it's basically a tug of war.
