The door panel may get caught up on the door release/lock plate, requiring you to maneuver it free.

Now that you are in here, PLEASE take a moment to wrap electrical (or duct) tape around every opening inside the door. You'll thank yourself for that later on when you have no deep cuts on your hands or fingers.
The first time I removed my door panels, I can't remember how many deep cuts I got on my hands fingers and arms. Do not skip this step, take time to cover those sharp edges and save yourself the pain.
