Incredibly long story short - had to get a new hood and fenders; went with Trufiber fiberglass parts. Fiberglass needs to be painted (ie: not carbon fiber) so instead of painting the car, we opted to wrap it.
And the wrap is going well - few more parts and we'll be done. BUT - i also opted to take apart as much of the car as i can to get the wrap around the edge and get a good grip.
Got both exterior door handles out just fine - but in both cases, we backed out the screw that goes in from the side all the way out.
I have watched all youtube videos on it; i've bruised up my arm pretty bad reaching into the door with the window up to pull the latch mechanism back to grab onto the t-shape part of the handle - nothing is working for me.
Anyone have a fool proof way of getting it back in? Maybe a pointer that I'm missing or not getting? Even watched a video of the entire assembly out of the door and still can't get it back in.
I'm to the point where I wanna just say F'it and take it to the dealer and through them an hour of labor or whatever and let them do it.
Help, please!!!
