How replace molding by door handle.... HELP
I've done some research but have come up empty, other threads did not have
images to show problem so I'm hoping in doing so will get this problem solved.

I do know that the door panel has to be taken of.. correct? If so above is my current
progress. I've taken off 4 screws. I need to know if there are any others hidden that
need to be removed, if not do i now pop it off? Is there any difficulty putting
everything back together again or is it fairly simple?
Any advice from similar
experiences would be greatly appreciated. I do have the replacement part with the
molding and the base. Just need access to unscrew old base and replace with new
part

What are you trying to do?
Just replace that peice that is missing in the first pic?
If so, just get a new one and pop it on. ~$10. There is actually a TSB for this and the dealer might do it gratis. No need to go fooling with the door panel or extra screws or whatever.
If you're talking about removing/shaving the door handles, that is something else entirerly.

The base needs to be replaced as well so thats why i'm asking about how to get into the door. thx
