    I am replacing the passenger window glass (thanks, Sam M.!) and am afraid of breaking something in my ignorance. I've got all the old glass out and have popped the wire clips holding the inside door pannel, but I don't know how to get the inside door latch handle off. My Chilton's doesn't cover this at all.

    I just don't see how the handle is supposed to come off.

    Any help ould be appreciated.

    The little black plastic "cup" has to come out so you can reach the screw behind it. Use a small screwdriver to pry put the plastic cup.

    THANKS!

    I figured it was something like that, but I didn't want to make the assumption and break something hard to replace.

    The window is in!

    I got another education on the plastic retainers. Fortunately everything survived the learning curve.
