Behind rubber on edge of door there is a hole to fit a T-20 (I believe( screwdriver. Then slide unit back and pull out. Disconnect electrical. Very easy on this car.

I'm interested in this question, too because I have keyless go and the one and only door it doesn't work on is the one and only door I really need it on--back left!!! That's where I put my briefcase cus the @#%^ (*&# passenger sensor in the passenger seat thinks there's somebody sitting there not wearing a seatbelt whenever so much as a magazine is placed on it!!! GRRRR >:-O So on the moulding you're saying pull it back and I'll see a T-20 bolt there for disassembly?

No. The one you need is BEHIND the main large rubber seal that surrounds the door. Looking at the door handle, trace directly across to the inside of the door. Behind that big rubber seal is a small hole. Recessed about 2" in that hole is a T-20 bolt. I just checked it again myself. You have to pull the rubber seal back a little to expose the hole. Once you remove the bolt-dont drop it....then the handle slides back and out.
