mainly held on by clips.... just pull off u will need some force to do it. just make sure u get all the screws first including behind the door handle.

what about the door handle (the opening lever) does that come off in one piece? or am i missing something?

u should only need to remove the backing piece (1) in the pic and then the other couple screws and (its easier with the window down) just pull off the card and lift up kinda at the same time. im not sure what the go is with the electrics though as my car is manual windows.

as far as your lecky windows go....get something to lift the swith up to unclip the loom..will be easier to do when the trim is still on rather than trying to unclip the loom,and dont forget to unhook the courtesey light....

Yeah, if you lift the handle, and then pull it should dislodge and come out.

you need to hold the handle in the open posi to allow the backing bit to slide off/forward

Lift the handle up. You should be able to dislodge the backing then. and slide it over the handle and off.

the whole panel clips in and lifts out...get a screwdriver or your fingers....its easier to do ,but you can unclip the loom off the switch once the trim is off if you want
