Recently added leather seat covers to replace the stock fabric seats and would like to change the fabric to leather on the door panel as well.
Any info/tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

You can find some diagrams from the service manual in the How-To section.
To remove the door, you need to loosen two screws: one behind the door handle covered by a plastic plate and one under the door holder slot.
Once you done, you need to pop of the door panel by popping off 7-8 clips behind the door panel around the perimeter(be patient with a little bit more force).
Once you have the panel off, you will need to unplug the window switch connector and complete door handle with lock and wire will come off pretty easily.
done!
 
Yes. Remove the 2 screws and just pull rather hard starting at one end and working your way around it. It will sound like its breaking but its not.
