Actually, the splash panel is mounted between the DOOR and the interior DOOR
PANEL (trim panel).
What's involved is typically removing the window crank and door handle and

And "duck poo" is probably as good as any. Actually, the sticky rubber
"clay" you can get to hold posters on the wall is pretty close.
