How easy is it to take the tailgate handle off?
I know I have to unscrew the numberplate lights etc, but what I wondered is the actual handle just glued on or is it held on my bolts or something from the inside too?
I want to take it off to paint it.
Also, I was in a scrappy yesterday and was gonna get some handles off a 5 door so I could paint them and still have handles on my car while I was doing them, however I couldn't get the rear door handles off as the bolts for them were actually behind the metal panel underneath the doorcard. Is there an easy way to get them off or will it be just as easy masking off the side of the car with newspaper and spraying them on the car? I don't mind doing it this way but obviously will have to wait until summer when the weather is good.
