Removal of exterior door handle

[vtraudt]

I have been looking for DIY help, instructions etc for removal/installation of the exterior door handle (front right door, 2006 Audi A6, keyless entry feature), but haven't found anything.

I somehow (aimless trial and error) managed to get the handle off.

I have no been trying get in back on for 2 afternoons. No luck.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
Links, video, write up?

To figure out how it fits, I removed everything that sticks out and can get damaged, leaving essentially 2 parts:
the base and the handle (without cover).

Regarding the base: should the round/square plug be inserted into the base before installation or after?

I figure the handle is inserted from the outside first, then the base brought into position from the inside.
That is what I have been trying for 8 hours now (with variations).

CAN"T FIGURE IT OUT!

Will post photos later.

About to replace the handle.
Guess you never figured out how to put it back together then.

Maybe anyone else have short instruction how to replace the exterior handle?
