Taking off interior door panel/side mirror

Does anyone know of a guide to take off interior door panel and side mirror. Location of hidden screws to take off would also be helpful. I can see one screw in the cup holder area but not sure if there are more to remove before popping off door panel.

I took the driver side door panel off and fixed some rattles, but for the life of me, I can't put the door card back.

The plastic clips just don't line up properly so the door panel won't become flush before pushing it in. You can't force it as I broke a bunch of clips. I got replacements from Amazon but still can't do it.

I didn't have any issues with the rear door as I reinstall it within 5 minutes. I don't know if that stupid tweeter cover is blocking or something else. I also broke the hanging door lock thingy.

I've previously removed door panels of BMW F30s and Audi B9s, but the G20 has been a pain in my experience.

I'm going to have a walk of shame to a dealer and have them do it.

Hi Can you tell me how much did they charge to put the panel back on. I just noticed my front passenger panel is not flush with door and ia completely lose.
