Which door handle? Though, I think they are all similar in that you must remove the plastic interior on the inside of the door first to get access to the inside of the door. You then unbolt the trim panel to remove it. I just replaced the rear handle on the Sienna and I know the rear works that way for certain. Removed the interior plastic panel (first had to unscrew and remove the two handles on the inside of the rear door, then the entire plastic panel just pulled right off). There were 3 bolts holding the exterior handle trim piece to the Sienna. Unbolted those and the trim popped off. Took me about 15 minutes to take the door apart, replace the handle and put all the pieces back together.

Forget about the Toyota; Buy American.
The same question for a 99 Sienna was answered on this site by referencing www.findonefindall.com/toyota-sienna/ The price quoted for the handle way $65.
Replace the handle. You will need to remove the door panel to replace the handle. If you can't do this yourself take it to the dealer. They should charge you about 1.0 to 2.0 hours labor to do this, plus the part.
the lower panel is held on with push on clips, 11 of them that can be "gently pried up" according to the service manual. remove the handle and strap prior to removal.
you dont........you buy a new car.....
