DIY: Replace Door Handle (Interior)

I know this is in writing, but here's a video for people that don't like to read like me

1996 Corolla Door Handle

Your ebay handle fits way better than mine did.

I actually didn't get this one on ebay. I was looking on ebay for door panels and found that they were cheaper. I put the ebay thing up so people can save money. It didn't go in as easily as it looks, but...it works and that's all I care about!

Very nice, I always liked how easy it was to do this.

But that little white clip (not yellow lol) is actually supposed to remain on the handle. You are supposed to unclip it from the metal rod before removing it.

One of them was yellow, lol...the both look white in the camera though.

The clip I pulled off was broken and came out like that. It doesn't matter which way you really do it anyway. Might have been easier, but it's an easy fix either way. I don't know why people don't do these simple cheap fixes before selling their car.

I don't mind though, makes it fun for me

ah, so your clip was broken? Well that clip is what is supposed to lock the bar into the handle. That's why it comes off the bar in the first place (not too sure why you took it off in the vid though cause you just put it right back on lol). The handle should have come with a new clip if it is broken. But as I'm sure you know, the clip really isn't needed

[badquenga]

Yeah the clip was broken in the handle. Came out in two pieces. You can kinda see it when I'm popping it off. The part that goes into the handle broke off. And, the new handle came with a new clip, so I would have installed the new one anyway.

Oh, and I watched the vid again. I guess I did cut that kinda awkwardly where it looks like I replaced it. But no, took off the broken one and put in the new one. LOL.

ok cool lol, just making sure that it is clear for future swappers

Good lookin out!
