I have a 2002 Elantra and need to replace the front passenger door handle. How do I remove the door panel

 

1. Remove the screw holding the inside door handle trim.


2. Remove the screws holding the door trim panel.


3. Insert a trim panel remover between the trim fasteners and the door trim panel to pry off. Disconnect the wire connectors from the front door.


4. Disconnect the outside handle rod (A) and lock rod (B).

5. Remove the outside handle (C).


6. Installation is the reverse of removal.
A. Make sure the key cylinder switch harness is routed properly.
B. Make sure the connector is plugged in properly, and each rod is connected securely.
C. Make sure the door locks and opens properly.

 

Thanks for he info and illustrtions. It's finally stopped raining here so we'll give it a try today!
