Hey all,

I got the replacement exterior door handles in today (color matched, Mopr) and I am wondering if anybody has done them before, and if itnisneasily doable on your own.

Thanks!

Did mine 2 weekends ago. By far the hardest door handles in recent memory. From what I could tell, and I could be wrong, it's the whole inner assembly, including glass, as 1 unit or nothing. You do have a small access. You're doing everything from there. 1/4 drive and 8mm ratcheting wrench, telescopic magnet, 1/2inch drill for the drivers door to access bolts and lock cylinder clip.

Pro tip is to tap the bolts into the new door handle b4 installing them. The new door handles do not have threads in the screw hole also there's a great write up in the diy section, I drilled 2 holes in my plastic like the pic above worked great. I think there's a write up in the audio section on how to remove the plastic and railing( it looked pretty ez) I think it under dyno Matting door skins
