 Because the vehicle is in its 14th year there may be a problem of thread freeze but I couldn't see how to remove this last little piece. Is it threaded? Is it a friction fit clamp? Anyone successfully removed this without damage to the assembly?

I have removed that thing on my '81 van with an '86 back door.
It was awkward but easy enough.  My recollection is that it's
a plastic piece with some springy fingers that hold it into
the metal; you have to apply pressure from all directions at
once while pulling from the outside... well, actually since
we only have two arms I found a lot of trial and error and
working from one side to the other eventually did the trick ;)

Good luck...
