First on the list is to take apart the two piece door handle using a painters spatula. Carefully wedge and pry the two inner and outer halves apart from the bottom groove of the handle applying moderate pressure.
Wrong information here. The picture shows how to remove one half and it is correct that what's left on the door is attached by two screws but even then you can't get the door-pull handle off without taking apart your door. From behind the door you can depress these clips:

There might even be glue/epoxy involved, I can't remember.
Either way, door panel must be removed, which is held in by those little white plastic retainers that are known to break so make sure you have those. If you just want to wrap it, there are other ways - something like this
Leather Door pull
And if you are just going to wrap it, because the chrome seam behind the door pull is starting to come apart, you can just place a small strip of translucent tape back there. Nobody would feel it or see it. Did that on my old Coupe so people wouldn't cut their fingers lol.
