Hello there,

Can you tell me how am I supposed to remove the exterior door handle from the driver's door? I've losened the tiny tension cable but then what? Should I just pull the handle towards me / back of the car? Where are the bolts?

Thank!

Thank you! I've been there already but this really confuses me. Am I actually supposed to just pull the handle after removing the small cable? That easy?? ELSA mentions basically the same so I guess I'll just take my chances when I have the time.

After removing the key barrel and popping the cable loose, you have to slide the handle back (towards the rear of the car) before it will release. Don't just pull on the handle. Step 5 in that link.
