take the door handle off the car and see the clip fell off

the tumbler.

how do i get the door handle off the car? i dun see screws or anything. i figured i'd have to remove the entire door panel to get to it.



and no one knows about those damn bucket lights? they are pissing me off.

You have to remove the door panel. Not difficult at all. Like two screw and some clips.

when you get the door panel off you will need to use a 10mm socket

and a extension to get the 2 bolts off the door handle.



You can do one with the window up, and one with the window down.



what the hell is a bucket light?

The light on the door pocket maybe?

bucket light: the light inside the lil buckets behind the seats.



i just took off the door panel...you lying mofo's there were at least 7~8 screws! took forever with out power tools. and i cant seem to get to the lock itself; the glass is blocking it. the lock is just moving around freely, i cant seem to keep it in place, should i just super glue it back? maybe some screws are loose? how is the lock supposed to be secured?



thanks.

roll the window down to get to the handle, You will need to

plug in your window switch to do it. I told you

that already. 2 10mm bolts and use

a extension. You will need to plug in your window switch to do it.



I never said how many screws were in the panel, usually there

are 4 on the armrest, one on the inside handle cover, one behind

the inside handle cover, then there is something like 4 more around

the perimeter of the door panel, some buried in the carpeting on the

bottom.
