UPDATE EMAIL ADDRESS
The inside passenger door handle on my 2004 "Black Beauty" has broken.
Does anyone know where I can find detailed instructions on how to remove the door panel and then the handle?

I found a Ford Shop Manual at books4cars.com, but it costs $170.00 and Ford wants $350.00 for the entire door handle assembly. I have decided to glue both pieces together, pour a mold of the part and cast a replacement out of resin.

In the meantime, I will continue to get out of the car and open the door for my wife.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
