I’m appreciative for this video I didn’t think of doing it this way. Made my life so much easier. But for future reference. I made life even easier by drilling 2 small holes in the black panel so I could easily get a extension through it and use a impact. Took 15 mins to change the handle that way without having to squeeze my big hands in that tight space.
This was informatible. I liked the drill holes inline for the 3 bolts holding handle on. I did that, no removing the glass, and latches for passenger from door. Thank you for recording ur attempt and detailed inside videos. I was not familiar even what was holding the inner panel together before the black inside panel holding the window regulator and rails and latch cables in place. Someone had been in this door b4 too. And stuff was out of place, even the window wiper stripping was installed upside down and glass struggled moving up and down with noise since we bought the truck 3 months ago. Anyway, ur video and other comments made this easy and skipped steps. Short cuts. Love it
Hey man thanks for making this. Here’s a question for you. Could you drill three holes in the plastic cover to line up with the bolts behind it so you can put a 8mil extension ratchet through them? Then put some rubber plugs in the holes you make? I have to remove them to wrap my truck so would like to do it so it’s easy to access next time.
Yep I’m sure you could, you would just have to line them up perfectly but I don’t see why you couldn’t I just didn’t want to have more holes exposed in the door
My goal is to add the gloss black handles to my flame red 2500 CTD, I have been thinking about doing this for years but when I saw what I was up against, I kind of lost interest, but now I am going to do it.
Do you know if the doors can be closed with the handle removed and still be opened from the inside? I need to remove the outer and close the doors so I can wrap the vehicle.
Yeah you can but they peel after awhile and aren’t OeM, I just wanted the OeM door handles that’s all but yes it is a ton of work for what they are lol

Thank you so much! After watching another post I was mortified. The driver's handle was worn so covers wouldn't cut it. This was a great vid!
I just watched your video yesterday and gave this a shot, thank you so much for figuring this out! Saved me a ton of time

Thanks for the video looks good dude!
Thanks man! Much appreciated
@@dieselnick3757 how did you take out the locking mechanism on driver side door? I’m scared to break something
Appreciate it man. Had a guy high on PCP wielding a knife rip my handle off as i drove away.. Good Times 🤦

is this good for a 2009 dodge ram quad cab?
The back doors are easier based on the window regulator configuration.
Time is money my friend. I would never ever do all this while I could easily get the stickers. To each their own though

@@dieselnick3757 good resolution to them peeling off would be a dab or too of tough ass glue. Would be a pain to remove though
