bezel removal
Thanks for the tips on the bezel removal. They came out with ease. If I could add a note here I used a long screwdriver to pry the tabs. The door handle itself is just a bit tricky to work around, the small screwdrivers would just get hung up. I used a long but thin one and it did the trick. There is no need to apply force just a little patience finding the right "zone" 5 minutes and I was very cautious as I know how interior trim is prone to breaking.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
