On F22 you have to remove 5 screws (2 on door handle, 2 bottom of panel and 1 door latch).
The door trim is held by two metal springs and several plastic tabs on the perimeter.
You have to start from opening in the bottom and work your way up and around.
The aluminum trim is soft and easy to dent the edges while trying to ply off the trim (even using plastic tool).

I have added photos of the door panel removed and door without door panel.
I've also included picture of removed handle trim.
I'm going to have the door and rears upgraded soon as well. My question is this - The door appears to have some good sound deadening, but if you had extra dynamat, would you have it line the door more and maybe the rear deck (inside the trunk)? This improved the sound greatly in my Audi.
