My 2023 car had a seized inner release. Outside button was ok. It was a plastic clip popped off a rod. No damage and a simple click back into place. I took the opportunity to lubricate the mechanisn while the door card was off.
I should have taken Photos! DOH!
Top section simply held by 4 push trim clips. Lower section had 3 screws underneath, escutcheon unscrewed, 6 screws holding the lower card to the door frame at the top.
