YOU must not know what your doing because mine came off easy and in one piece. There is a black plug on the inside door jam. Pull the plastic plug out and you will see a allen screw. Unscrew it all the way( takes some wiggling) and your door handle escutcheon will come off and allow you to take your handle off. Put new ones on and escutcheon and tighten screw. The screw is held on by plastic clips so it wont come completely out. Very easy to do. If you by XE you will have to buy a separate escutcheon because the passenger's door on an Xe has a keyhole and the SE'S don't. Cost me 7 bucks at my dealership.:cheers:
