Hope this helps and simplifies your problem
First pull the door handle, then look inside and up, you'll find a rectangular hole, stick the flat head screw driver inside the hole as in the pic, push the screwdriver gently while moving your arm downward stroke and pushing upward at the same time ,you can put a little force as you are doing this -you can either hear or feel it a click or tap releasing the top part of the bezel- you can to
1. choose to pull the bezel by running your finger along the gap that you created but put a little bit more force when pulling-don't worry if it sounds like the tabs are breaking-more often than not-they're not ( but it's no guarantee so be careful also -careful not to cut your fingers as the plastic is sometimes sharp
2.Or put your fingers on the gap or apply something (not sharp) into the gap and do the bottom one(the reason you want to apply an obstruction into the first gap you made is because sometimes, when you do the other side, the first gap you make goes back in)
Here is a pic for the upper tab
Now for the bottom hole/tab, you also push but this time push downward while doing an upward stroke of your arm also picture and rest is history-gently remove the bezel with your fingers.Hope this helps!
