The tools on the bottom are the ones you need to remove the trim panel. Drill the rivet out at the bottom of the door, if the rivet is already missing, the actuator could be OK! This rivet requires a large riveter. Place the trim yool under the plastic clip and pop, there will be 8-10 of em, the grab handle will be removed with the Torx T-20. 2 Screws at the bottom of the door are removed with the philips.
