I'm not 100% what it's called but the clip secures the rod to the inside of the handle where it slides through a hole to open the door. It'll be green or white (my driver's door was green, the rest white) 

 

What I did the first few times was to remove the door card starting at the bottom prying it out when everything was loose, then pull the handle piece forwards and because I couldn't detach the rod clip from that position I turned the whole door card 90 degrees and manoeuvred the handle through the cutout while it was still attached. Awkward though. 

 

The bigger door handle doesn't come off from the door card just so you know. It stays on. 

Okey so those screws are only removed to be able to move the door card. I will look into it, thank you!

So if I want my clips to stay intact I should try to remove the handle? I put on quite some force but it did not seem to endow sadly.... Will try again with the door handle removed though, maybe that helps. Where are the clips located approximately though, and how can I get rid of those?

Did you manage to get the door panel off? I'm trying to get to the wiring in my door, but somehow I could not get the panel loose. There are 2 bolts in the handgrip, one in the handle and one obvious one below the mirror. Should I just use a screw driver to flip the door handle and the window handle out? Am I missing anything to remove the panel?
