It is very usefull information, but i found some difficulty in removing this part, (this is the chrome door handle mechanism that you use to open the door). Please advice me on how to do it. Thanks you very much..

THANKS! This was a GREAT help! I would have been seriously lost AND broke A LOT of door parts! I had to replace my wife's driver's side door handle on our 2008 LT. I just have a couple of additional difficulties I thought needed to be addressed. The first item is that around the door handle there is a cover that needs to be removed BEFORE the door panel can be lifted off. There is an upper and lower plastic latch toward the front 1/3 of the handle that need to be lifted with a screwdriver and a rear lower tab that I am sorry to say I broke so beware and take care. Then pull the door handle to the open position (which was difficult for me because it was broken in half) and remove the door handle cover. Now the door panel can be lifted up and off. This leads us to the second difficulty which was disconnecting the trunk release button electrical connection. The trick here is that there is a release catch underneath the connection between the connection and door panel. Feel around press up and pull the connector out. I hope this helps!
