I need to replace the interior door pull

Unfortunately I used a cleaner on it that was a little stronger than I thought and it melted some of the texture away. It /almost/ looks like this piece comes apart from the rest of the door panel but when I tried it was fighting me. Does this thing come off seperately?

Thanks,
Bill

What sort of 'cleaner' did you use? That must of been one heck of a dirty Jeep to use heavy duty cleaner!

Should we ask how you got permanent marker on your door handle?

Well, I guess I just asked.

On smoother surfaces there is a trick to removing permanent marker that at first blush doesn't seem to make sense. Over-wright the permanent marker in small pieces with "permanent marker" and then vigorously rub it off with a clean cloth, paper towel or tissue. I learned this trick from son's football coach when he used the wrong marker on his handheld white board during a game. I cleaned it up for him in about 10 minutes while he coached. He had a clean board come half time. The permanent marker ink acts as its own solvent before drying.

Actually, if you go over a permanent marker with a dry-erase marker, it will easily wipe off a white board or similar surface in seconds. No vigorous rubbing required. I know because my Mom was a math teacher.

If that works it is even a better solution.

Looks like I learned something today!

So I guess there's no insight on whether this piece is apart of the door panel eh

If you take the door panel off, you will notice on the backside that all the panel pieces are held together with a plastic weld. The pieces all fit together like a puzzle that kind of snap together. Those snaps are then melted and it's what keep everything together. I suppose you could melt the "welds" but putting it together might be a little harder.
