Removing Door Panels on 2003 Vue???

[ferrellcat]

I have purchased some upgraded speakers for my vue, and am trying to
figure out how to remove the front door panels. I see two screws (one
near the door lock handle, and one near the bottom front corner of the
panel) If I remove both screws, and start to tug near the front bottom
corner, I still feel a lot of resistance. I did not continue, as I did
not want to mess anything up. Did I miss any other screws? What is the
correct way to do this? Thanks.
