theres 3caps in the handle take them off gently
and there should be 3 hex screws once there off, theres also the door nobs, they yank striaght off
turn handle vertical to unlatch it from the lever, then yank door trim straight up and off

are you refering to the 3 caps mentioned by niko?

dig em out with a flat screwdriver or something just be careful not to scratch the plastic. they are just plastic caps that conceal the security screws underneath.

What tool can you use to get the security screws off with? I was having a look at this the other day on my ED and I had never seen it before. Was a little puzzled, heh.

They are 'Torx' bits, you can get a set from most auto parts places. The radio and seats use the same style heads, so you're better off getting a set than just one.

they are just screws that dont fit a regular screwdriver.
you need a special screwdriver set with interchangeable tips. the tips cost me 20 bux. i got the screwdriver from my matez toolbox.

I bought a tool kit at bunnings that includes a screwdriver with exchangable bits (including the hex screws), a shifter, a ratchet with heaps of sockets, etc. for $20. The quality isn't too bad, but you can obviously buy better if you're prepared to pay more. It's basically got all the bits I need.
