replacing door handles
Thursday, April 03, 2008 8:53 AM
hey guys i searched a little bit but couldnt find much of anything..i know the door handles (outside) are riveted on, and im just wondering what the best way is to replace them. Im thinking inside the door panel there might be screws holding them on, but if anyone can let me know the easiest way to replace them id appriciate it. Thanks!

Basically just drill out the rivets and then your going to have to removed the rod from the door handle and then it will come right out. To put it on just connect the rod and rivet it back on. Its rather simple even for beginners.

like i said, your better off buying new handles, go to a body shop, they can order smooth ones. 99% of the time the crack or break where you rivet them in. it sucks. but they are able to get smooth or textured handles. order smooth and you will be good.
