Default remove 2001 Ford Ranger interior door panel

I am trying to remove the interior door panel of my 2001 Frod Ranger to
replace the passenger side mirror. I seem to be having difficulty getting
the panel to come off. Am I missing some screws or am I not up to date
with these snap together vehicles? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There will be some "plastic popper" type trim clips at several places around
the edge. If you take a thin piece something (card for instance) and slide
it around under the edge you will find these locations. Usually no more
than 0.5 inch in from edge or so. When you locate one carefully prize the
trim panel out using a screwdriver resting against the card so as not damage
the paintwork.

(You can a proper tool like a V shaped angled bladed screwdriver )

There is also a tool you can get at a good auto parts place to make
sure you don't damage the clip or the panel. It's easy to crack if you
do it wrong, and if you bend or break the plastic keepers, they may not
go in all the way. You can buy replacements for them too.
