You don't have to destroy anything. Go to any autoparts store and they will have a tool that is used to pop the plastic push-fasteners that hold the door panel on. First you have to figure out how to take off the armrest/handle (screws usually) and then the window and door latch handles, etc. (usually another tool for pushing off little spring clamps, then remove the panel and hope you can figure out how to get at and fix the door handle. I have some experience with this and usually you will end up damaging the panel before a beginner will figure it out. You also might not be able to reach or fix the mechanism. Sometimes you have to unscrew it from the end of the door (after you have opened the door). I would try to fix it myself, but you might want to bring it to an autobody shop, as they are the ones who are best at this stuff usually. Bring it in and if the guy gives a funny look and scratches his head go somewhere else. Use the guy who says "oh these, yeah, I've fixed these before"...
