How to remove interior recessed handle?

[Marko3]

Hi!

 

Does anybody know how to remove driver’s side recessed handle (the handle above driver’s head)?

 

 

I found out this workshop manual on the internet, it’s quite useful but not 100% clear:

But I don’t understand exactly how to unclip the clamps???

 

 

Should I try to spread apart the clamps, as much as possible, and pull hard on the handle? Or should I place a screwdriver between outer and inner clamps and peel them off somehow?

 

I tried to do both, but I accomplished nothing.

 

The clamps hardly budge at all. It’s really difficult to spread them apart. And I don’t want to damage something.

 

If someone has a clear idea how to do this please help... thnx

Maybe you have to pinch the black (spring?) clips together.
