Advise on replacing original door handles.

I bought a set of body coloured outside doorhandles. Has anybody replaced them before? Obviously I need to remove the door panels but is that enough the reach the internal fixation?

Utter tosh ..the handles can be removed in about 2 mins..

The only thing you have to wary off is the smaller part ..the clips break off . If you have a new set ( i presume 8 parts ) then this wont matter ( replacement bits are about £3. each ) G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Remove the smaller part by squeezing the top in and remove ( beware the clips are likely to break ( £3 each from LR )

Then slide the bigger part towards the rear of the car ...then lift outwards ...thats it

The only exception is the passenger side with the lock ...open the door and there is a small rubber gromet on the side of the door ..remove that and loosen of the screw a couple of turns ..that releases the lock .

If your replacing them with colour coded ones you should have 8 parts , so it dosent matter if the clips break.

I removed all mine to get sprayed . G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Well just replaced them. Courtesy to Wiggs!
Patience and some force does it. Be prepared to write of the old handles. The clips break off.

Do you mean the clips on the end caps ?

The handles themselves should be intact G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

I thought I heared small pieces breaking off. But when I take a look at them they seem fine. The clips on the end-cap are gone for sure.
