So I watched this video (I'm not a car guy) built up a little courage. I needed the drivers side door handle with the lock. I bought the OEM for 65.00. Got the part, went to Harbor Freight got a 6.00 magnetic screwdriver and a 9.00 bit set. My torx was a T20 not a T27. Got home, 5 min later I was done. Thanks for the video. I did not want to take that panel off. He is spot on with this video.
I bought the OEM part and only backed out the screw a few turns and the little piece slid right out! Old door handle removed easy like u said and the OEM part slid right in no problems! Thanks
I found that, if you use a piece of string or something like that, you can loop the catch that the door handle attaches to from the outside so that you don't have to take the door panel off. Then, once attached, you can just pull the string back out.
Nice video, i thought the interior panel needed to come off. also i found the screw only needed to be backed off some rather than completely removed, makes the install less spooky
Mine was the drivers door and the bezel that fit over the key hole broke which made my handle come off in my hand. Thanks for showing how the handle goes on.

Very, Very Helpful! Thank You Jim.
It’s the same for the Taurus
You have a lot of patience, I would have had a few cuss words to say when the screw fell and when the new handle didn't work.
