How do you remove the screw cover in the front door handle insert on a 2002 XJ8?

 

With something very thin...razor blade or such. They are not in there very hard so once you get it started it goes easy.

 

There is a video on removing the rear door panel that shows the tools they used.
I used the snipping tool in windows 7 and pasted the photo of the small screwdriver (for the small plastic plug) into first jpeg file, also the photo of the upholstery tool (for prying the clips that hold the door panel on) in the second jpeg file.

Yes, I was able to remove it with a little "watch screw size" screwdriver. Be gentle, easy to scratch/mess up the plastic.

I always found a razor blade or craft knife worked best, screwdrivers always seemed to damage the plastic

The other thing is to make sure you catch it once it pops off! They can be hard to find if they flick out and end up on the ground
