All that holds the plastic cladding on the exterior on is some pushpin things. The corner near the door opening is probably already pulled back some from catching curbs and whatnot...I'd start in that corner.

I am not sure if you are talking about the sill plate or the door cladding. If it's the door cladding look here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=44681#p507900
Just like zbyers said.
The sill plate probably pops out. Look for screws first.

If you're asking about number 14 in the diagram, there are no screws. I've never taken that part off, but if I did try, I'd pry gently with a screwdriver and hope it pops off without breaking

Probably something like this video of a camry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT0bwETYYf0 Be advised, the video has loud overly dramatic music, and removal of the sill plate is only at time 3:05 - 3:12 of the 16 minute video
