Taking off the door panels...

Hello!
Something is rattling in the pass side door in my '87 T-bird. There is also a small problem while opening pass side door from the inside. You have to pull a handle a lot more than the driver side one.
I don't want to mess something up while taking the panel off so I thought it's a good idea to ask you for some instructions... eg. how to take out the power locks switches from the panel?
Thanks in advance for help!

I knew it must be somewhere :) Thanks!

"There are I think 2 screws that hold the arm rest on. Remove them then slide the arm rest back. It should then come off."

OK, found one screw behind a cover near the door handle, where's the second one?

I want to say there is the one that holds the plastic piece on. Then there is one that is under the plastic piece that goes straight down.
Or is it the other way around the second one goes it to the door and the first one goes straight down.

I'm in the middle of removing the door panel. The only problem I have now is how is the upper part of the panel teamed with the door? There's a chrome molding there. Would it come out along with a part of windoow seal/gasket? I can't move it up!
