in order to replace the handle, you must first take off the door panel. This will require a torque bit. ( kind of looks like a star ) to remove the panel you need to remove all the screws around the bottom of the door. Then isung a flat bladed screw driver, pop out the central door grip, and the screw tab behind the interior door handle. remove those screws. now just lift the panel straight up.
Next you have to remove the foam padding. this is easy, it should just pop off the clips that are holding it.
next you need to remove the liner from behind the door handle. note (don't completely remove the liner, you still need to put it back.) all that's left is to remove the screws holding the handle to the car. ( if your replacing the entire assembly then remove both screws.) if you only need to install a new handle, just unscrew the left screw, ( this is the screw that you need to take the rubber seal off of the door to get at.) that will release the guard over the key hole. remove the guard then pull the handle sideways towards the lock. It should release. (if your handle broke, then the procedure is reversed.)
Finally all that's left is to re-install everything.
good luck. hope this helps.
