I didn't take pictures or anything. But I just bought one that was almost the same color off ebay when our's broke. Remove the inside door panel and cover and all and replace from the inside. It is pretty self-explanatory and you just put everything back like you found it.

Tools needed:

Phillips head screw driver
Flat head screw driver
10mm socket or wrench

I made a movie on 20% tint and door panel removal a little while ago.. not sure if Gen 4 is different from Gen 3 though

^ Hey I have that button on my desk. Comes in handy. Yeah, just take off the door panel and you should access it pretty easily.

The only other thing you will have to do once you get the panel off is peel back the plastic that covers the door panel

Hi Mister Perkins,

I found your video, it's great. I will post the result when I finished DIY. The weather is pretty cold and it might be done in summer. Thank you and all for valuable inputs.

Max, Glad my video could help. I wasn't sure if It would help ya or not, because I didnt go in detail on the vid. about how to remove the panel. The hardest part is removing the door handle surrounding plastic. Just make sure you are careful while removing.. After the cars get some age on them they like the crack
