Remove the handle,window winder,like you did,And then behind the little plate on the door lock mechanism there is another screw.Then take a flat object,and slowly and carefully wedge the panel away from the door.The panel should have triangular clips that pushes into holes in the door.

If I recall correctly,there are 18 clips on the panel.
Damn,I'm good!

If you pull the trigger back,there should be a plate that covers the screw,remove the little plate.
