For the more advanced mechanical minded.
Unbolt the door hinges. Access to the bolts via the front door being open. That should allow you to pull the door out enough to gain access to remove the door interior panel. You may have to disconnect the door wiring at the pillar.

After Georges suggestion, I went and looked at my car, then did a Google search.
Those pictures looked like the hinges on the HHR and how it is mounted to the door and B pillar.

Thank you FireManGeorge. That sounds like a game plan with removing the bolts. Yeah, I lost the key Fob remote a looooong time ago. The buttons on the dash do the same thing though. problem is that here in the hot Hawaiian sun, the rubber seals on the outside stick the door to the car, making it hard to open the door. I think this is why the motor stopped opening the door a while back. While I'm here, is there a way to identify the remote and replace it, maybe using the VIN or something like that?....
