  1 Ok, 1st thing to do is remove the single screw behind this door handle trim. Released by pushing forward and pulling away...
 
  |   2 This is the screw. A simple X point screw.
 
  |   3 I started at one corner and pulled the trim away. Here you see 1 popper stayed put and the other came out properly!
 
  | 
  4 Worked my way along the bottom. Being very careful due to the dubious Mitsubishi plastic quality!!!
 
  |   5 All removed. Now just the filthy black sticky stuff to deal with. Be very careful not to get any where you don't want it!!!
 
  |   6 With the plastic removed we are able to see what's going on...
 
  | 
  7 A close up of the door release mech.
 
  |   8 A close up of the electric door lock motor.
 
  |   9 The door release again.
 
  | 
  10 The rod I made. (But had to remove!!!)
 
  |   11 Where I had fitted it!
 
  |   12 I guess that hole is still there!!! I did fit a standard old release knob on this to make it look a little better...
