    So it was easy to snap the @MESO door handle covers on, but how does one go about removing them? I can't get the back part to un-snap :(

    May have to remove door panel to access the handle and get a good grip.

    Once door panel is removed, the handle part slips out on its own.

    I did this today. Pull handle part way out and pop them off. Mine popped off as easy as they popped on.

    Cool, I got them off now. Needed to do what you said, then angled the covers upwards and it came out easy. Thanks!

    Your pic shows that they are a different shade of black and clearly don’t match. Mine are also like this.
    The pic on the website shows a perfect match. Not really happy with them, especially for $40+.

    agreed, that picture changed my mind on the handles. Not a fan of the mismatch in color

    The interior (at least mine) is a mix of gray with black accents. Wider photo here :

    Otherwise, I hear that Meso's MGM color matches the interior pretty close.

    I’ll post a video, but you can unsnap the fron with your hands which leaves the rear still clipped in(and tucked behind the panel) slip a panel tool in between the stock handle and my cover pushing toward the rear. This will unclip the last latch then you can pull it out.

    Does your handle close all the way into the pocket? Like factory. Or dies it stick out a little?

    Sticks out a tiny amount when I first put them on. Few weeks later it sits flush, worked it's way in I guess.

    Mine all match, no issue there.
