Vitz 2001 - rare door handle problem! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hi, another revival.. Finally took some time off to sort all of the issues as expecting new member in the family and all cars need to be in tip-top condition :)

Ordered replacement door handle, for the life of me, I can't find a DIY to replace it. I haven't worked on Toyota before, only on my BMW so I don't know what to expect.

To remove the door handle I need to perform the following steps (can you please verify/comment)..

1. Roll window up
2. Disconnect battery
3. Find all screws that hold door card on and remove them
4. Pry door card until it pops, disconnect wiring from window switches?
5. Remove water barrier
6. Find the 2 screws that hold the door handle
7. Remove the handle? How is it linked to the door lock actuator? or it's not?

THANKS!!!!!!!!
