Just as the title implies I'm trying to remove the door handle to have it replaced due to scratches.

I found a video on youtube on how to remove the door handle but was unclear on how difficult the reinstalling process was going to be before ripping things apart. Removing it seems okay but do I need to remove the door panels to get things to work again??

heres the video.


Pictures or video would be nice! Thanks in advance!

Reverse the steps. Where is the confusion? Why would you need to remove the door panel?

some of the confusion comes from the comments that follow that video, stating they couldnt get the handle back in completely..

Here is a video showing how to reinstall (the trick is to pull the housing while sliding the handle back in).
