Removing the driver side door panel

I own a 2000 Malibu LS, and only the driver's power window will not function. I am trying to remove the door panel, but cannot find enough screws to remove. I found one torx screw behind the black door opener and two bolts under a small removeable cover behind the door handle. The panel is loose but still not removing. If anyone knows exactly where the remaining screws are located or knows a technique for removal, please let me know.

Those are the only screws/bolts that there are to remove. The perimeter of the door is held on with plastic pressure clips/plugs.

Start at the upper corner of the door by the side view mirror. Slip a non-metallic pry bar behind the door panel and pry it free. Work your way down and around to the back of the door. Then lift the panel off of the window ledge. Be sure not to pull the panel too far away from the door before removing the harnesses for the power items.
