This is a weird piece of work! I start to unscrew that screw and all seems to be going okay (I can see there are two small plastic tabs in front of the screw though) so eventually I hear a snapping noise and that first piece of plastic falls into the shell of the car! Odd... But then I can remove the small part of door handle..

At this point the main door handle no longer budged and I worry the spring is broke....i also have to abandon the work as it's raining! so I start to screw the screw back in again, handle still doesn't work... I keep going and going and eventually I hear another snap! And then another bit of plastic falls into the shell of the car! Then the handle starts working again!

So it's almost as though it's designed that way and designed to snap... What do you guys think?
