the black caps pop off, they don't unscrew. Try to catch them so they don't fall down into the car. Taking off the side panel the handle is mounted in may help.
It's not hard, but it is cramped and you have to work with the handle to get the wires back into their slots and then the handle mounted up. It takes maybe a half hour in all.
it's a Kenny Powers quote on wheels

Got it... I had the speaker on the outside instead of the inside and then screwed in While i was there i tighten the drivers side latch for the cover .It was loose and i had to figured out how to tighten it.I thought i had to go on the inside but seen a hex head on the outside turn it and tighten it up.Now the cover closes nice and tight now....sigpic

Thank you guys for the tips! I was just able to do this possibly even quicker and easier.
(I bought my car with the lever floating around inside the panel, but i could still crank it and use the top how i wanted. Then it started knocking around somethin' fierce.)
Since my housing was pulverized and not my lever, which seems to be the norm, i just slid out the pin and reused the lever in the new housing. No caps, no screws, no stuff falling into car. I did remove the panel to reach down from the top.
What i didn't do is recover the bulk of the old housing LOL! i thought i reached where it would have fallen but now i realize that it is probably dangling on the cables somewhere (still knocking around).
