I've had several experiences removing the door panel of a Jeep Compass. You'll need to prepare plastic pry tools and a Phillips screwdriver. There are only four screws on the door panel in total. One is hidden behind the small cover of the door handle - you can gently pry it open with your fingernail or a pry tool to reveal the screw. Another screw is concealed beneath the window switch panel, which can be removed by lifting it straight up. The remaining two screws are located inside the door armrest; lifting the armrest will expose the screw positions. After removing all screws, don't force the panel off. Instead, start gently prying from the bottom of the door panel using the pry tool to gradually release the clips. A clicking sound indicates a clip has been released - work your way around the edges of the panel. Finally, remember to disconnect the window switch connector before completely removing the door panel. Be extra careful with the fragile clips - use gentle movements as broken clips can be troublesome to deal with.
