you need to take off your window handle small clip in be hind
take out screw from door handle "inside"

then pull off the door trim "start at bottom"

the behind the plastic you will see the door handale the connecting rod just un clips look n you will see

ok good luck

im thinking he means u take it off from the inside?
hrmm try taking the door trim and plastic crap on the interior off and from inside youll see how the door handles connected to the exterior with connecting locks?

needs to be done from inside the door!!

step 1 open door.

step 2 undo screws and clips etc and take off door trim!

step 3 remove plastic thats covering door.

step 4 and ull see the door handle at the back of door.

step 5 undo the two bolts on either side of the handle

step 6 ull see the lil metal rod going to the lock with a lil plastic bit on the top, u need to flick the plastic bit to the side to release the metal rod.

step 7 last step. u need to wiggle the door handle out of the car and ull see the last bit it is connected to is a metal pole with a thread on the top. pull the handle out and undo the thread by spinning the handle.

hope this helps!
