Can anybody help me figure out how to remove the door handles??
So I did a search and found a manual, but I dont have much experience so I'm kinda lost as to how to remove them. I want to have them color matched to the car and Im sure it would be alot cheaper if i removed them as oppose to having it done at a shop! Good Look!
From white09maxima's thread : "removing the handles is VERY easy! Open the door and there is a black plastic plug in the door jams (looks like a button almost) it is at the same height at the handles. Pull that plug and inside is a torque bolt, loosen the bolt and the smaller piece of the handle will come off. The bolt stays in place as it is designed not to come all the way out. Once that small piece is off just slide the larger piece (the piece you actually grab) forward and pull outward slightly. The back ones take about 1 - 2 mins cuz there's no wires. The front handles have a "cap" handle that just snaps on/off. You will leave the actual metal manual key lock on the driver door. Hope that helps but like I said its very easy/straight forward
