[@FranzJenkins]

Outstanding video! Great job showing the exact process in replacing the door handle!

The standard by which all instructional videos should be done!!
* Clear video work..not filmed using a 1920s camera
* Step by step including tools to use
* No annoying intro segment..it isn't a shit reality TV show
* No talking or hyperbole commentary...not everything has to be "xxtreme dude!!"
* No 180 decibel shitty cell phone ring tone "music" distorting my phone speaker
This video is perfect!!!!!
Thank you!!

Thanks, Heath...too kind. I did these videos to work more as a follow-along vid-manual hybrid. Plus, no one would want to hear me stumble and stammer trying to narrate instructions. Hope they help. Thanks, again for the kind words...and thanks for watching!

Thank you so much - I'm half way there, just that I have a Mazda Tribute SUV and I had watched the Mazda Protege, where they did not remove the door panel! Okay, step 2. Thank you so very much well photographed, recorded video and 'red arrows' helped a lot! God bless you for this! I managed to remove the handle without removing the door, but unable to match up the cylinder, so ended up (was very easy and should have done this in the beginning 3 screws and 5 pop ins) removing the door panel. Then I find out why it didn't fit, the cr*p AM Auto Parts online out of Kansas had a smaller diameter than the original - so I had to 'drill out the plastic slightly inside in order to get the cylinder to slide down. Then simple pop in back in NOT their 'cr*p' clip does not STAY IN, so I put the screw back in as I reassembled the door, thinking it might molly bolt spread, it didn't. So now that I have the door back on the snap in pops out, so now I am attempting to hot glue, something, so I can replace the interior handle cover!~ Reminder do not order from AM Auto parts - cheap parts are not good, and good parts are not cheap! FYI

Just completed this repair successfully thanks to you - thanks a million!
Side note: I did it on a 2008 model and there were only very minor differences

[@GreaseMonkeyFever]

Glad it helped you get the handle repaired, William. Thanks for watching!

[@MrAquinas1]

@@GreaseMonkeyFever I normally get annoyed when there is no narration, but you did such a good job with the video, it didn't make much difference.

What if neither the interior or exterior handle work? My vehicle passenger door is permanently locked. Thanks for the video!
