Where to find your model number

General manufacturer guidance: exact label position can vary by model.

Tips
- Have a few spare door panel clips ready; old ones often break.
- 1Make it safe and check access. Engine off, window up. Many handles release from a screw behind a rubber plug on the door's rear edge; others need the inner door panel removed (see your service manual).
- 2Remove the door panel if needed. Undo the screws in the armrest and handle bezel, pop the clips round the edge with a trim tool, lift the panel off and unplug the switches. Peel the plastic weather sheet back carefully.
- 3Disconnect the rods. Photograph the lock rods, then swing open the small plastic clips holding them to the handle and key cylinder.
- 4Fit the new handle. Fit it with its gaskets, tighten its fixings and reconnect each rod to the same hole.
- 5Test before closing. With the door open, test the outside handle, the key and remote locking several times, then refit the weather sheet and panel.
This is general guidance for the part type, not a model-specific procedure. If the part does not fit without force, stop and recheck compatibility.
