In this video I’ll replace a broken Kia door handle on my 2013 Sorento. This applies to all Kia Sorento models between 2011-2015 specifically, but it may work on other years/models as well. Total cost to replace this handle was around $14.00 and it took about 10 minutes. I believe the only tools used were a Philips screwdriver and a pair of pliers.

Is the process for the fonts the same? Access hole on the side of the door? I have a 2008 Sorento so a little older then the model you have here. Thanks
The screw will not line up with the hole on the back of the new part that I bought. Something is out of line because the screw will not hit the hole right to catch the threads. Anyone else have this problem?
My handle literally just came off this morning on the passenger right. Thank you for this video!
The information in this video is totally useless because it doesn't explain how to get the door open to get to the screw if the child lock engaged.
But what do you do if the handle comes off and the child lock is on so you can't open the door
I love u right now!!!!!
Ok but what if you can’t get the door open?
Thanks for this! The exact same handle you filmed popped off my girlfriend's Sorento a couple days ago. Just ordered the parts. I'm relieved I won't have to pull the door card out.
Great video. This happened to my 2016 sorento recently. I think kia got wind on the simplicity on fixing this and decided to take away that access hole because mine doesn't have one. Looks like I got to figure out how to take off the inside panel. Any tricks on how to do this?
Thnx this helped out a lot
Trying to do this, sounds easy enough but the screw is so tight. Not as easy as you make it look. Don't want to strip the screw. any suggestions?
the latch isn’t clipping into the door handle for me, do you know any way i can fix that?
So on my wife's 2010 Sportage the driver's side door handle broke off, the part that you put the key into is still intact. It looks like the rest of it where it broke off is still inside screwed on. I'm guessing I will need to take that broken piece out before I replace the handle. Will removing the screw inside allow me to take the broken part out?
Great video. The real question is why are these door handles all falling off?
I think it's from heat The plastic is just weak. Again thank you for the video
