Tips before taking my driver side door panel off

Hey TW, I'm about to take my interior door panel off to take a look at a sticky lock. I've got electric windows so I don't have a window handle to worry about. I am concerned if the plastic clasps holding the panel break easily? And one last piece of concern for me is the plastic cover glued on behind the panel, how should I re-adhere it to the door?
Thanks for your time, it's my first post so lemme know if this should go under a different topic.

The clips will break if you go all ape-like on them. Get a panel remover tool or use a flat head screw driver. If the latter, just get it close to the clips and gently pry apart while you work the panel with your other hand.

I didn't break a single clip when I did mine.

As for the moisture barrier, 3M double sided tape will work fine.

If every walkthrough looked like that, I'd get nothing done.

 

I just had mine apart.

One thing that is good to know before hand is about the plastic interior door handle. There is the obvious little phillips screw to remove, and then the assembly pops off. BUT, you need to slide the assembly FORWARD about 1/4 inch before it pops off inward.
