you dont........you buy a new car.....
It is real simple, I had never done it until I replaced it on my friends 1998 Sienna LE. Need to remove the sliding door panel and you'll be able to see exactly what it takes to to.
This is a growing problem with many Sienna models, the only way to fix it, is to replace it, I would suggest you contact Toyota Corp. (find the number in your owners manual) with your defect, as I have placed a complaint of this defect with them, they responded by saying "the more complaints they receive the better the chances are they will recall this defect".
hi please show how do i replace the Toyota seinna 2000 front handle door thanks Andy
Upon further inspection, the rear door handle assembly on the 2002 Toyota Sienna IS the same as that shown on the Find One Find All website, so never mind.
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.
See this link: http://www.automotiveforums.com/t203428.html. I'm going to try it tomorrow. Good Luck, Dave
I learned that the trick to removing the inside handle is to place a piece of cloth in the gap between the handle and cover and work it back and forth, eventually popping the clip off and sliding the handle out. It worked. You replace the clip by pushing with a flat screwdriver.
