Default Removing door handle cap.

Anything special, or do I just pull?

I slid 2 credit cards under the cap and tried to pull it off using those for leverage.

It won't pull off with a good amount of force.

I'm just afraid i'm going to break something if I pull any harder.
Am I missing something, or do I just need to pull harder?


Also, can I access the window switch from there? My switch dropped down, and I need to remount it.

Thanks.

Wintermute pointed out to me that there is actually a little pinhole on the underside of the door handle. Proper procedure would be to put something in there to push a little latch back, and then turn it. You'll see what I mean with the cap off.

but yeah, i just cranked on my driver side cap and it came off... : )

Did you figure out how to fix the window switch? My passenger side has this same problem and needs remounted.

Look right underneath the silver cap there is a pin hole at the bottom push something inside then twist, will come off. I'd do it that way because I would break the plastic inside.
