(Sorry for the shit-tastic drawing)
UPDATE- I just noticed that my drawing looked much different after the post. Basically, the X is the area between the handle and the escutcheon.
Basically, get a very small flathead screwdriver and fold a cloth or paper towel over the blade. Next, insert the blade (orient the blade vertically - "X "marks the spot) and lean the screwdriver handle (pry) towards the front of the car. This will push bak the tab holding the escutcheon in place.
Once you get your new one, you will have the plastic escutcheon attached to a metal piece right out of the box. Remove your new escutcheon from the metal piece and install on your car. (Hook the tabs to the right side of the keyhole and snap in place)
When you are done, place your old escutcheon on the metal piece that came with the new one, place it back in the box, and then keep it just in case you need it!
Hope this helps! I was unable to put my .bmp up.
