Default how do I: remove inner door panel, 2008 Accord coupe

On drivers door, outside, I have a stain that looks like it may be from rust from outside handle.
I'd like to get a look inside to see if it's something I can encapsulate or otherwise fix.

If some one has removed the inner panel and can give a few pointers so I don't goober something,
I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, Joe

No idea how you get the panel off. I say that as Honda used little plugs to cover the screws and clips to hold the panels on.
What's probably rusting is the steel handle backing plate. It's supposed to be galvanized, but it can still rust (or even the handle screws are rusting).

In the DIY sub-forum is this thread with links to removing the door panel for a sedan; the coupe is very similar.
