There's a tab on the other side of that bumpy bit to push but it's very difficult to get in there to depress. Otherwise you may have to go the long way and remove the external handle and unbolt the latchand pull that out with the inner panel as it sits on the clips attached to that panel. Inner edge of the door there's a plastic cap that reveals an 8mm bolt, that releases the end cap at the handle.

Thanks. 
If it is the tab marked A it is really difficult to push, tried a flat blade and still will not give in.

I was just trying to help  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

I first submitted that uniquely versatile  device 2 years ago; it has now been viewed 5,392 times.  :victory:

About that time the posts from the Poms became rather shrill, then ceased altogether.  :phone1:  ......Bliss   :twisted: :twisted: :twisted::mrgreen:
