Default Door handle removal

picked up an 08 is350 recently. Need to swap the passenger front door handle as it has some damage. I’ve picked up a new painted one for cheap, just wondering how to pop it off.

I can can only find videos for the RX, which I assume is similar but they lack the electrical connector for the keyless entry.

Anyone done one before?

Typically they are bolted down from the inside. Removing the interior door panel will likely tell the story. How's ft done on the RX? May be similar.

On the RX there’s just a grommet on the side of the door you remove, then unscrew a bolt and remove the handle frontways.

here is a video showing removal of the door panel.
once you have it removed the inside of the door i believe is sealed. remove a portion of it to give you access to the interior part of the door. there is i think two screws (you will need a star bit) to take it off.

sorry for the vague instructions i havent done this in awhile
kinda similar to this though:
