inside door handle screw cover trim

do u kno which peice im talking about?? the little 2" rectangle that covers the two screws just behind the inside door handle. its a pain in the a$$ to take off...ive had to pry mine off like 5 times...and each time is just as hard as the last. does anyone know an easy way to take this thing off? maybe with a suction cup[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] i used a flat head screwdriver, but ended up scratching the hell out of it. now im just gonna get new ones. i cant find them anywhere online, can someone send me a direct link to it? majestic honda's parts search interface sux.

I need to get a new one, I broke the clip thingy that holds it in place so after that anytime I shut the door the thing would go flying [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]
Oh well.

get a straight pin (or anything that small) and bend the tip of it. then just try to pry it off with the bent tip. pry near the corners so u don't break the clips off
well u know that no one will jack the speakers cause this piece is hard as hell to take off[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Where that little gap is, just poke a screw dirver in there and pull it back out, the cover should pop semi off then you can just pull it off.

Mine too. Ah well... Use a simple fork (slim, not a fancy thick one)! it gets in real good and covers more perimeter. Just slip the teeth of the fork (face-down) along the top of that square piece really good, push up on the handle, and whamo! It's off faster than a fat man who sat down too fast. A slim blade of a knife will do the trick too, but you must be careful of scratching.

Yeah, those are annoying. I made the opening for the screwdriver on mine a little larger. I guess it's easier now...
