Exterior door handles remove

[damon6uk]

Does anyone know how to remove the exterior door handles
Just because I'm getting my rear bumper resprayed because some ****hole rammed into me so while I take the parts in as my car will be unusable without a rear bumper I thought I should get the door handles colour matched

Dont have any pics and its a few years since I done mine.
Best as I can remember is to get a torek(t10 or t15 as far as I know) at the inside of the door. Just above the door lock. Loosen that and the first bit of the handle should come loose(smaller piece), Unclip the cover and it should come straight out. Then you need to pull the main handle out at an angle. Just take your time and you wont damage anything.

As far as I know thats it but wait for confirmation or take care as i said its been a few years.

Not trying to be picky but the torx screw is t20, but everything else Steve said is spot on. Just remember you only need to undo it and not take it out !

Haha well as I said its been a few years(5 i think) so just guessed that the torx was pretty small from memory
