Jerry, I don’t have a manual for the car – and I am not sure what the name
of that part is. You might be able to describe it to a Toyota dealer parts
person and they may have an expanded parts picture of the mechanism or
perhaps you could find one in a auto salvage yard. Sorry I could not help.
Best wishes !
What is that part you are pointing at, at 3:00? That part in my car is
busted so we need to buy a new one. Thanks!
You are welcome Mohamed. Thank you for taking time to comment. Best wishes !
It helped me to remove the lock door of my corolla 2006, the handle is the
same (the door panel is different though). I had no clue how to disassemble
the handle before a saw you video. Thanks a lot.
Awesome!!! I have been struggling to replace my door handle for days.
Couldn’t get the lock out, but now I see how. Thanks!!!
thanks so much this tutorial was very useful to me and I do mine
replacement very easy i am so happy and save time and money thanks a lot
awasome !! lol
Thanks Jeff. Best wishes on your project !
how did you change the handle without taking the door off? Please ??!!!!
Thank you, Jim. You helped me save a ton of money. A lot of good karma
coming your way.
Wow, that’s faster than I did it ! 🙂
i was able to change my driver and passenger front exterior handle without
removing the interior door panel
I figured it out… had to unscrew the door latch mechanism and slide it
over. Still had barely any room but a long bit driver or the little
ratcheting tool I had works, in case anyone needs to know. Thanks again!
One last thing, I have to replace the back door handles and I can’t access
the right-hand side star screw in the door. Do you know how to reach that
one? Thanks!
Gotta keep the boss happy ! 🙂 Thanks for the comment.
Thanks Jim …..did it all in 30 min
This was exactly what I needed, thanks for the help and advice! I am
working with my matrix with about 120k miles and I had thought all hope was
lost with these pesky handles. Awesome!
Christine, I don’t think I understand what you are asking… the video
shows how to change the handle without taking the door off… but I did
take off the interior door panel.
Jeff, I’m sorry but my wife has traded in her Matrix and not having the car
to look at, I’m not sure how to access the right rear door handle star
screw.
Hope it worked out well for you. Thanks for the comment !
Jim you should have been a teacher, i just did the right handles on my boss
car and your video help me alot…..Ocala, Florida
My wife said she got them online from ROCKAUTO.COM They are listed under
Toyota/Matrix/Year/Engine Size/Body Exterior/ “Outside Door Handle”. I just
looked them up and theyare $13.14 each. Hope this helps… and best wishes
for your repair.
My two passenger doors busted. Where did you purchase the replacement
parts? Thanks!!
Great, glad it helped. Thanks for the comment !
