Kevin,
it's good that you didn't force anything :)

There is a hole in the fender. Shine your flashlite in. Do you see the 
plastic thing like a dial with a slot in it? Stick a long flat 
screwdriver in, turn 1/4 turn g-e-e-e-e-ently, g-e-e-e-e-ently press on 
it and move the handle towards the windshield. You will release the 
plastick latsh and pry it out in this single movement.

Please do not force it! As always with German cars, if something does 
not release easily, chances are you're doing it wrong.
