Post 2000 Grand Caravan-How to remove front passenger door panel?

Please advise on how to remove the front passenger door panel. I've removed
all the screws I can find hidden however, when I attempt to remove the door panel it doesnt come off. It seems that it is still attached by something near the door assist handle and the door pull cup area.
The window is not working and so I need to check the window regulator but I am stuck trying to remove the door panel. Please help, thank you.
