Default Need help...how do I remove this handle?

I need to replace the plastic piece being pointed to by the screwdriver. All was going well but I can't figure out how to remove the seat back handle. I'd like to get this swapped out tomorrow. Any help will be appreciated.



Here is where the handle comes through the other side and hooks to the cable.



And finally, here is a picture of the wire that goes from the seat to the car. It looks like the metal plate should be attached to something. Any idea where it goes? Thanks

Looks like the same clip GM has been using for years for window handles.
