I am looking for someone who has removed the drivers side interior door panel. I want to remove the panel to repair a small dent in the middle of the door.

Thanks "chevydually" I will give it a try next week. I have never had any luck with the panel to body clips. Usually end up breaking a few or ripping them out of the door panel itself.

you may want to invest in the proper tool, then, to prevent that from happening.

By the "proper" tool, I assume you mean a tool like a long handle screw driver with a forked tip?
