How to remove interior facing of sliding door?

[bearymore]

In order to replace a broken door handle, I need to get into the inside of one of the sliding doors. While the repair I need to make is easy, there is no obvious way to get into the guts of the door. To do it would involve removing the interior covering and there are no clues how to do that -- no screws, screw covers, etc. that I can see. Obviously, I don't want to just yank on it and break something. The only door related TSB refers you to the workshop manual for this procedure. I don't want to spend $140 for the manual, being as I'll probably only use it once.

If anybody has any ideas or instructions, I'd really appreciate it.
