remove the handle by taking out the screws behind the little plastic caps that pop off,you will find the fixing screws behind there. there are also some screws on the bottom of the door.once all screws out. pull the panel towards you( there are some plastic clips that help hold it in place) lift the whole panel upwards to remove. Its one piece so don't be fooled that the top piece is separate. hope this helps.

I am not a motor engineer but I've taken a door panel off of my Golf - they come off in an upwards direction after removing the handles and winder etc. Screws hidden at the very bottom - very low down will prevent any upwards movement.
