cupra rear door handles on FR - any special tools needed

[mds1256]

as per the titles. i have the piano black b pillar trims on but i think it looks better with the piano black rear handles as well.

i have read a tutorial on how to get the rear door cards off and looks complicated. before i start taking things apart do you need any special tools to change the rear door handles?

any guidance by any one who has already attempted these?

I had to tighten mine once, cant remember but either an allen key or a torque

ah rite so no specialist tools required then to change the handles just the average screwdriver and allen and torque keys

no just torx keys. 2 different sizes. some duck tape to hold the window in place at certain points of the procedure. no allen keys are needed. should take about 1hr to 1 and half 1/2 per side. did i myself. just watch out for dropping bolts inside door. you'll be fishing them out blind

Whats the difference between the Cupra door handles and the FR ones?

 

[Michael B]

Cupra ones are gloss finish, Fr ones are matt
