Chrome door handle shells

Does anyone know how to install these? it looks like you have to remove the door handle to put the shells in? Is this correct? how big of a job is it?

Super Super simple- They have a stick on back and you just meanuver them UNDER the handles wthout any tools and slide and stick into place. No disassembly required. I have these on mine and they look great and protect the finish from my rings and fat hands.....

Exactly...... very simple, unfortunately, the directions given (which is none) dont indicate how to install. The easiest thing to do is to pull the door handle open, while hold it open slip the left side of the plate under and into position, the right side will then slip into place.

Be careful, I had the one pop off during a car wash... if this happens, just remove them, remove the old double sided tape and get yourself some 3M tape from HomeDepot... its works great.

Here is a pic w/ them on.
