Very common fault mate the silver cover is held in place by four small screws from the inside but are prone to breaking mate.
I stuck mine back in place with hot melt glue over twelve months ago and still holding now.
If you leave it they are likely to fall completely off anywhere. My passenger side one fell off in my hand, the drivers side went like yours. There are four screws. Three at the front & one at the back.
You cannot buy them as replacements from Honda. You have to buy the whole assembly. As Wardy and Hansz have said, and as I did, glue them back on.
don't leave it to break off, i had one break off resulting in me not being able to open the door from the outside or the inside..nightmare to fix if this happens trust me..
Mine popped off when I shut the door, but I didn't fancy removing the door cards to fix it so I put mitomate glue in and it's solid now, just don't let it run down the paint
My passenger side door handle cover came off on the A127 at the weekend (mk8). Had to buy a whole new handle for 32 quid on eBay.
Fwiw I had epoxy glued it on after it was flapping loose like some others have done. Lasted about 6 months and it went from zero to hero cos I didn't feel it loose again at all. Had forgotten all about replacing it til the confusing plastic noise on the motorway:/
Now I'm trying to figure out if I have to spray paint the backing plate of the new handle with the correct colour code, or if I can swap out just the circled part onto the car (I don't mean snap off the very front part again! I mean the centre bit including the bit behind the bit that always comes loose, seems to be 2 star screws around T15 size perhaps but I don't have this size yet so can't tell if it can be separated cleanly)
yes that silver bit is just held in with a few star bolts and can be swapped over to your original coloured handle.
it's the pillars that those screws go into that break and let that bit drop off.
Ahh that's great news cos I thought it may be glued and bolted on and I'd have to tape and spray
