Remove the old interior handle
Remove the handle's Phillips screw and slide the handle forward to free it. Disconnect the door release rod from the handle and set the old part aside.
Install the replacement handle
Connect the release rod to the replacement handle and slide the handle back into its mounting position. Install and tighten its screw so the handle sits flush.
Reinstall the panel and check operation
Restore the water shield, align the door panel, and reinstall its screws and pull handle trim. Reconnect the switch and verify the inside handle releases the latch.
