    Simply put, how the heck do you get the thing off?
    The bolts are easy enough to remove but I simply can't figure out how to disconnect the rods to get the handle out.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

    Trying to stay pretty close to stock now. Just a few bolt-ons for fun.

    Sigh. I meant Exterior Passenger Door Handle. How do I remove that?

    Should just be some plastic clips that attach to the rods. Pop those off the rod and then pull the rod end out of the handle.

    Wow. That clip is well hidden.
    Thanks. Once I finally found this clip, I was able to wiggle the handle out. That's going to be fun to get back in without destroying the paint.
    For those that are looking for it, the clip is between the window rail and the exterior of the door. I tried several times to get a picture that's helpful, the one below is the best I could manage.
    The handle still needs a fair amount of jimmying to come out.
