There should be a plastic grommet on the door jamb area of the door itself, remove that and you should see a 10mm bolt. Remove that bolt and wiggle it off. Hope that helps. Just gave you a quick response but I haven't removed a tC door handle since 07 lol.

Ok man, go to the side of the door..there is a black, rubber piece, or could be just a black piece glued on, take it off..your going to see a star bolt most likely,unscrew it, but remember that it has something so that it wont fall off or screw out,grab the piece that the key goes in the door,it should come out, then grab the handle and push it towards the back of the car and it should be out.Its so simple it can be done in 2 minutes

If I remember correctly there aren't any rods. The way they build it you can remove the entire handle without having to disconnect any rods or whatever. I was surprised when I first took one off years ago.
