Yes, look for the bolt that just holds the handle to the assembly. Seems if you are looking at 3 bolts you are taking off more than you need to. Pic so we can confirm? I've taken my doors off and agree it's normally pretty easy.

 

it should come right off nothing to much holding it in place

 

Its a torx bolt holding the handle on my QC 04. Its fun to get off because you have to hold the handle out a little bit to get the bit in there. Its right at the base of the handle.

 

Yeah its way fun getting off... the clips are actually hooks... so once you get all the bolts and screws out just lift up and pull... and like the guy before me said, getting that handle back on is a pain!

 

hey the door is off and ol' boy was right....i took off the entire handle assembly.....didn't see the one screw until i got the thing off....

thanks so much for all the help guys....this site is awesome....

now i have two other projects to tackle.....one, my a/c and heat will not blow....the air is cold and or hot depending on where the dial is set.....and the other is trying to decide if i should have the 6.1 cam installed.....I already have the part....just not sure if I should have it installed or not.....

 

oh well, second time's the charm
