Removing Outer Door Handles

I purchased chrome outer door handles.



I got the front two, two weeks ago and I got the rear two today. I was going to go and install them in 15 degree weather (I'm psychotic).

Took the door panel off and then I just couldn't figure out how to get the friggin thing out. It's really up there!

Is there something I'm missing? Is it impossible?

Thanks
Andrew

i had a friend take mine out but from what i saw you take the poles out of the clip, remove the two nuts that secure it, and slide it out from the outside.

:o)

It was the one thing I couldn't figure out for the life of me. I just gave up and had the body shop who was going to be painting them anyway take them out. I was just trying to save on labor by taking them out myself. Sorry I can't help. I can fax you the FSM pages if you don't have them (I didn't have the FSM yet when I tried).

Why in G.'s green earth would you want to add chrome to your car?! I have spent hundreds getting rid of all my chrome. :I Good luck.

Personal preference ... I like it ... and it adds a little bit MORE class to the ride

on the back you have to take the whole latch assembly out because one of the nuts are hidden.

open the door and look for a couple screws around the latch assembly.
