T25 Torx Driver

Hi, I'm Mike from 1AAuto. We've been selling auto parts for over 30 years.

When removing the exterior door handles, there's an access hole behind this rubber plug.

Inside you'll see a T25 Torx head screw. Go at a good slow pace, to make sure you do not drop that inside the door.

From the outside, you gotta grip the door handle. Open it. You gotta take the lock cover off. Pull on the handle and slide it.

When reinstalling the handle, put the front end piece in first. Make sure the clip goes behind that metal.

Then you can reinstall the lock cover. Take the inside screw and line it up. Tighten it down.

Replace the rubber plug.
