Hello, guys

my Driver door inner handle broke, and I did not how to fix it. I removed the screw under the handle it self, but it won't come out. The assembly of the door latch comes with memory adjust panel.

if any one knows how to replace, this handle tell me. I have all tools required for this job, but please advice me if you think go to a mechanic.

Thanks

You need to remove the whole door panel.

oh, I thought the same, this ting is much complicated than other cars. I wonder if anyone has the location of the clips underneath the door panel.

Thank you so much PUReChoas for your reply, it was a great help.

The door panels are held in place with these fasteners,



use a paint scrapping tool, that's wrapped in masking tape (to prevent scratches), to hinge the panel off two-three inches at a time. Hint, there is usually at least one screw holding the panel in place. Once removed unclip the panels wiring at the plugs. You might/often have to pull the plastic water seal to do this.

Hello,

Below is the video on how to take the Door Panel off, after that, it is just two more bolts left that hold the handle to the panel.


Hope this helps and best of luck!
