I can tell you about the earlier ones. There is a couple of smallish screws that are recessed a bit in the lower part, not the bottom, of the panel, remove them first. To loosen the upper part you will have to pry the panel out about a half inch. There are at least 4 spring clips holding it in place starting about half way up the rear glass. Once the top is free and the lower screws are out you will have to push the panel towards the top of the door. You might want a helper at that point as the panel can be a bit awkward to handle, but its not heavy.
The following info is from my service manual;
