Unclip seal on the edge of the door
Unscrew bolt
Pull out lock and disconnect
Pull out handle

sorry for keep bothering you dynomite, would you happen to have instructions on removing the side skirts and rear bumper also? i found your post on removing the front bumper and i did a search for side skirts but a lot of the threads have not been answered.
