How to change interior door handle?

[TraceyP]

I apologise for all these questions but I'm determined to do some stuff myself! I'm buying a chrome interior door handle, how do I go about changing it over? Have searched Youtube etc. Thankyou

If I recall correctly you have to remove handle trim and then door card to access securing bolt -see photo

You need to remove the door card, once you get that out of the way its super easy there's just a bolt on one side and then you twist it out of its slot then there is a connector bar with a hok at the end, swing it around the hook and it's out. The most difficult part it's actually removing the door cards. While you are in there check the vapor barrier plastic or foam and see its siliconed good against the metal, if not then this is the best opportunity to refresh that. If its not stuck and you can lift it enough to stick a can of lubricant then a good opportunity to also hose down those window mechanisms

On that pic you can see it with the vapor barrier plastic removed, if the seal is good you don't need to remove the vapor barrier to change the handle. Good pic

Mario and Jonco thankyou so much!

Agree - vapour barrier was removed for different jobs - i.e solenoid change, lubrication and some rust prevention.

Knowing me I will take everything apart and forget how it goes back together...but at least I'm trying (very trying my other half says)

Haha in the past o have had engines and gearboxes to bits no prob but now I am finding that my memory lets me down
Taking the door arm rest and card is straight forward if carefully done, try not to break any clips you will get there
