ive taken the door panels off before and did some sound deadening...my god it was the hardest car to do sound deadening... most bolts, screws and nuts ive seen... and the window is attached to the black piece too, so window becomes loose and is a pain in the butt to put back together!!

hopefully to get the door handle on/off i dont need to take that black inner piece off too , any tried first hand on taking the door handles off yet? i dont want to break or screw up anything

my link took you to removing the door panel, after that, you should be able to remove the exterior door handle.

make sure to keep the window up.
