350Z interior door handle removal
Hi,
It's a wonder. I cannot find any information about removing the black plastic where inner door handle is located. I'm talking about this always-scratched black, little plastic part :

Does anyone know if it's removable from the door panel or do I have to remove whole door panel? I want to paint this piece of crap but I want to do it as good as I can.
Also, does anyone know how to remove that aluminum plate from the top of shifter stick? I tried and I only damaged leather (no biggie, I'm sending it for restoration anyway)

#1 flat blade screwdriver and needle-nose/hemostats will work also.

No removal of door panel required.
Let a little google using "site:" operand reveal the true nature of your task, young padawan... and let Obiwan VO show you how:

I just removed and painted mine not long ago and you indeed have to remove the door panel. There are screws holding it down on the back of the panel, once you remove the panel you can't miss them.

Time elapses.....
And yep, Steel's right. There is a little piece behind the door pull itself that pops out to expose the retaining bolt but the main piece you want to paint IS part of the door handle/vent assembly. Ooooops....
Sheesh, wrong twice in two weeks. Used up my quota of mistakes for next 20 years.

Hmmmm.... maybe it's my early senility but as I THOUGHT I recalled, the plastic pieces come off to access the door panel retaining bolt but they come off without? Dammit, now I gotta go look.
