could you please help me on this issue...

I try to  remove the sliding door handle to replace the missing gasket.. I
lift the  panel, remove the screw... but the handle doesn't move at all...

I  tried BP blaster --> nope

I put the screw back on half way and hit  it with a hammer --> nope

on my other van the handle just slide out  easily...

what's going on and what else to do? (without destroying  anything)

many thanks in advance...
