I believe you have to remove the entire door panel and then the screws are accessed on the back side.

This is correct

during re-assembly, pay attention to the door lock pin as it is easy to get its rod mis-routed causing your door look to seam inoperative.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

I have removed the door card, but don't seem to be able to see screws on the back in order to remove the grab handle.

you should find your answers in this page from the WIS.

I would have gotten this sooner, but we were without power for awhile.
