In this video, we show you how to replace the interior door handle on this 2004 Chrysler Sebring, and the only tools you're going to need for this is a flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a T-20 torques bit. There are two trap doors here. There's one right here behind the door handle, and another one here in the pull cup. All you want to do is take a flat blade screwdriver and stick it into the slot on the side of them and just pry them out. Now what you want to do is remove each of these Phillips screws. There are six in total, and we'll just fast-forward as Don removes those.

Take your flat blade screwdriver and pry off that triangle panel. To release the clips on the back of the door panel, you just want to pull out all the way around the door panel. Once you've done that you can lift it up and off of your door lock knob. Then behind the back of the door panel you'll see here's your door handle rod. You just want to pop that clip up, and pull that up and out, and you want to disconnect the two harnesses here by just pushing in the tab and pulling them out. Now your door panel is free.

Now from the back side of your door panel, you'll see there's two T-20 bolts right here. You just want to go ahead and remove those. You want to just, using a flat blade screwdriver just pry out the clips on either side of your switch here. Then just pull that switch out. Now you take your switch and just push it into your new door handle, and put the door handle into place. Then you just want to replace those two T-20 torques bolts.

We'll just fast-forward as Don replaces those. To reinstall the door panel, you just want to take that door handle rod and put it back into place and re-clip it. Then you just want to reconnect your two harnesses. Once you've done that, you just want to line up your door. Put it up and over the door lock knob and down into place. And, then you just want to push those clips in around the edges of the door panel. We'll just fast-forward here as Don replaces those six Phillip screws. Now just replace your trap doors and that triangular panel.
