Anyone have any thoughts on removing the tailgate handle? The bexel is off, the actuating rods are free and clear and the handle is free but there isn't enough clearance to remove/replace the handle. any ideas?

 

the tailgate spoiler has to come off if its not already, its held on with double sided sticky tape

 

thanks, I didn't want to charge ahead and do expensive damage!

 

jus be carefull with it and use heat (heat gun or hair dryer) it peels off but its a PIA for sure
