Anyone know how to remove the plastic part of the door handle? Its the silver part of the door handle with my interior(black), don't know what it would be in other interior styles.
I carbon fiber vinyl wrapped mine without removing it and it started to peel around some stress points. It would look much nicer if I were able to remove and wrap it.
If you know whats behind it (like clips or something) please let me know. Hoping someone here has tried to remove it and could perhaps fill me in before I mess with it myself. Hoping not to leave any marks![Crying](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/Peace.gif)

As you can see its hard to cut it perfectly along the edges so I had to put some touch up strips to try and cover it, but it's hot as hell outside and it's hard to get the adhesive to stay. It's 3M vinyl so it's not that it's a bad material.
Thanks!

Best bet would be to remove the whole door panel and look at it from behind. I'd say there's a very good chance that it isn't removable. Some pieces on door panels are melted into place.
