    Greetings -
    Trying to remove these handles - is there some secret to removing the plastic cover in order to remove the bolts?

    There should be a small notch on the upper inside base of the plastic cover. Invest in a set of plastic interior trim removal tools and get in there and pop the cover off.

    you can actually see it on your pictures, but because the trim is black it’s hard to tell. Use a flashlight.

    Thanks I found that I had to put a small screwdriver in the side slots and pry them out a bit but they did come off. I was suprised the way they are connnected and not a single screw used to hold them in place.
