Need assistant in removal of inner door panel

[iCydia]

Hello,
Sooo... recently I encountered a issue with my driver side door lock actuator... Locked me out a couple times and now I finally have the door opened I can change the actuator out..

But the issue is I'm having difficulty in removing the grey panel after removing the plastic door panel.

I removed every bolt/nuts I could see. The bottom part of the panel is freely moving. I'm have issues with the top, it won't budge. Looks like a rivet?

Has anyone removed this before or know how to? Suggestions?



I was told that Id have to use a extractor and take those rivet out.

Do you think it would be a good idea to cut it out? cut around the rivets.
