Thank you for this. I'm not a big car guy and I suck at doing things like this. When my grandmother died 2 years ago I inherited her 08 optima and this past friday the handle broke and I've been upset about it since. I just finished following your tutorial and now it looks good as new. Thank you again for this!

[@RBTheMechanic]

Nice job!!! Glad this video helped fix grandmas car!!!

[@berniebush5995]

Thank you! This video was spot on!! I thought it was going to take at least an hour, and I did each door handle in 15-20 minutes.

NO NEED TO REMOVE THE WHOLE DOOR PANEL , JUST REMOVE THE TRIM PLATE COVERING THE DOOR HANDLE 1 SCREW AND 2 CLIPS POPS RIGHT OFF THEN THE 1 SCREW HOLDING THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DOOR SLIDE IT BACK UN HOOK CABLES , THEN ATTACH CABLES TO NEW HANDLE SLIDE BACK ON ATTACH SCREW POP PLATE BACK ON INSTALL SCREW ,,,,,,, DONE

[@jeffc412]

Agreed that it's not necessary to remove the whole door. I tried both. Initially just the small door handle panel, but turned out there's just not much room to work without the whole door off. So then i took the whole door off, watching this video it's actually surprisingly easy to take the whole door off. One thing is that I spent the longest time installing those dangling 2 connection cables (4:25 min in this video) back, aligning with the holes in the new door handle, took me forever.. finally found some way but definitely annoying... One other note, the replacement part I bought from Ebay has a little flaw - there are 3 alignment hooks on the back of the new door handle that once pushed into the door, should allow door to slide to the right and hence align with the door handle screw hole.. the Ebay part's alignment hooks are too thick, so can't slide to the right and align screw hole. I had to sand them down, and in the end decided just to take a needle nose plier just snip them off, since they're really there for alignment only.. this took another 30 min of my time...

So my handle isn’t broke but the lock button above it doesn’t close all the way when locking doors it’ll look like it’s unlock but isn’t is that something that’s needs to be replaced or maybe something off track?

[@RBTheMechanic]

Not sure might need replacing

[@jimbike8064]
