In order to service and repair the rear door exterior handle, remove the door trim panel. Next, roll up the window fully. Remove the waterdam, access the fasteners for the outside handle, remove the latch, and remove the access hole cover. After that, unbolt the nuts that secure the door handle to the door. Disconnect the handle-to-latch rod from the handle's latch release lever arm. To install the handle, place it onto the door panel and attach the latch-to-handle rod to the handle latch release lever arm. Place the nuts to attach the door handle to the door, then the latch, followed by the waterdam and trim panel.
