Removal

On manual window models, close the window completely and mark the position of the window handle. Release the retaining clip and remove the handle. The clip is released by inserting a clean cloth between the handle and the door trim, and pulling the cloth opposite the ends of the clip, hook the clip and release it, while pulling the handle towards you so that after releasing the clip, it comes off the splines of the window regulator (Fig. 17.33).

On the rear door, unscrew the screw and remove the inner door handle housing (finger recess).
Using a door trim remover or a wide-bladed screwdriver, pry the door trim away from the door around the perimeter.
If necessary, pass the electrical wires through the dust and moisture protective film. Carefully remove the dust and moisture protective film from the door.
