4Rings6Stars Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 One of the outer door handles on the rear door is broken on my 06. (long story involving rain, freezing temps, girlfriend pulling too hard on a frozen door, me face-palming and shaking my head) I searched and found a couple similar situations but nothing really that helpful. My plan is to remove the door panel (found instructions for that here) and see what's busted. Any tips or tricks? Anybody have the same problem? Is it likely I can fix it or will I be replacing the handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXR4T Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Sorry, I don't have a solution, but I want to bump your thread for making me laugh. I had a hilarious mental picture of your unfortunate event. I am sorry it happened though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guisar Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You should be able to get at things from the inside but I'm not sure how you'll be able to disassemble without being able to open the door. The instructions are a bit off based on my experience. There is a small door on the lower passenger side which would NOT under any circumstances let go- had to get the panel mostly off then just yank it. Fortunately it didn't break but I'm not sure the yank is possible with the door closed nor have I seen a way to avoid the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Rings6Stars Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I still haven't gotten around to fixing this... Guisar - I'm able to open the door from the inside, just not from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PearlBlueGT Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Just poor door panel off and you should be able to get to it. Fairly simple fix and I've done dozens of doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
