Front passenger inner door handle disconnected.

The title explains it.
I am surprised there are no threads about it, but I may not be searching correct terms.
A rather heavy handed "Miss Marple" tried to open the front passenger door, with the engine running, causing the handle to become disconnected.
There is possibly a cable or "system of Chinese levers" connecting the handle to the door latch.
I need to remove the door card and wondered if anyone has done it.
It may be temporarily fixable with, for instance, a cable tie.
Maybe someone else has experienced this problem.
All advice greatly appreciated.

It’s easy I’m sure there’s something on here it’s a few screws then a trim tool around the edge.

I secured mine with cable ties. Been ok for about a year.

Thanks, I shall set to in a few days when the temperature goes above zero.

I used cable ties when a similar thing happened on a Renault Megane some years back.

Fixed.

The handle had become detached from the cable, now reattached.

I suspect, Miss Marple puling, wife pressing dashboard door lock and me attempting to open from outside caused the problem.

Thanks to all.
