The Driver window is off track. Can anyone tell me how to remove the door panel so that I may put it back on track?

Are you sure it is off the track, the cable may have snapped which causes the window to fall down which is common in this year. If that is the case you can by replacement window regulators for $75 which is what I had to do.

I am not sure. My main problem is getting the panel off.

To remove the door panel remove all the caps/ plugs hiding the screws and the door handle trim, (there is a screw behind the door reflector light also). After all the screws are removed pry all around the bottom to release the plastic chrismas tree plugs, a flat pry bar works well. Once they are all free push up the door panel to release as it hooks over the top of the inner door skin. Unplug electical connectors and voila its off.

I have an issue like this. My door handle broke and I ordered a replacement. Got the side of the door off but I cannot reach the
door handle screws or take off the bar that attaches to it. Anyone know a better way to change it?
