There is no need to remove the door panel. The entire process took less than 10 minutes! Remove the one screw in the center of the handle housing. Slide the old housing toward the front of the car (if replacing the drivers side) and pull toward you. Hold the metal D shaped rod (at the inside rear) with needle nose plyers and remove the plastic clip (the clip swivels to make removal easier). Slide handle housing down from plastic hole. Slide new handle onto metal downrod and slide up. Connect plastic swivel clip to metal D shaped rod. Slide handle housing into opening and lock in place by sliding toward the back of the car. Insert screw and you are done. I bought my handle online for $23 including shipping. The local dealer wanted $36 for the handle after giving me a "ballpark" estimate for them replacing it of $150 to $200! I'm a 56 year old woman so I really think it's criminal that they would charge that kind of money for what took me 10 minutes!
