Loose exreior door handle

Loose exterior door handle

Drivers side door handle is a little loose, do any of you experienced Jeep owners have any trick for taking off the interior door panel and fixing a loose handle. It appeasr to be only screwed in one spot, does the rest of it just clip in? And is the window handle/crank held on with a c clip like most vehicles?

REMOVAL
(1) Lower the window.
(2) Remove the clip attaching the window glass
regulator handle to the regulator. Remove the handle.
(3) Remove the screws attaching trim panel to
door (Fig. 15).
(4) Remove push-in fasteners attaching trim panel
to door with special tool C-4829.
(5) Lift the trim panel upward and separate the
trim panel from the door

I dunno if that helps at all but thats what the manual says. Seems very easy.
And yes the window crank does have a horse shoe clip.

It doesn't actually say how many screw and it's tough to see by the pic but just remove all the screws you see lol. There is 6 on mine. 2 on the very bottom lip of the door panel, 1 by the latch, 1 in the inner door handle, and 2 by the inner PULL handle( the vinyl strap near the door handle). You may not have to remove the last 2.

The special tool is just made to remove push clips. You should be able to use side cutters, but be very carfull to not cut the clip in half, lol.
