Steps
- Remove the door trim

- Detach the old handle
Turn the panel over and remove the two T20 fasteners holding the handle to its rear side. Push the handle out of the panel and retain any reusable clips.
- Fit the replacement handle
Place the replacement handle into the panel opening and install the two T20 fasteners from behind. Tighten them securely without overworking the plastic.

Reconnect the switch wiring and latch rod, then position the water shield and hang the panel over the door. Press its clips into place, reinstall the screws and covers, and check that the handle opens the door.
