2001 Corolla door panel

My friends 2001 Corolla has a problem in the passenger side front door. The key will not unlock it and when you slam it you can hear something loose in there. My question is how do you remove the door panel? There is a Phillips head screw near the door handle, a plastic fastener on the rear edge and I can get some movement at the front center of the panel but I don't want to break anything. Can some one please point me to some instructions or give me a clue?

BTW: The car has electric locks and windows.

Chances are the rod has come loose.

Look for screws in the arm rest, the door handle (that is, to open the door. There is probably a screw behind it) and look up from underneath. Gently pull the panel out, and if there is any further resistance, check for another screw. Simple!
