SOURCE: 1999 Toyota Corolla interior door handle

There's two screws by the handle, pull those out and you'll see how it all connects on the inside. I was able to remove my broken one, and drill a hole into the plastic where it broke and reuse it - it's lasted over 4 years now.

Yes you will need to remove the door panel if you can not see the rod that connects to the handle.

SOURCE: replacing the interior door handles drive side and

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge.

SOURCE: I need to print out a discription of how to replace a door handle

First, remove the window switch/door lock switches from the door panel, these are usually just clipped in, sometimes held in by a screw. Then, remove the outer cover for the interior door handle. This has one screw in it that you should be able to see (or see the little panel covering it which needs to be popped off first- be careful not to break it!). The plastic piece can then be slid slightly forward and popped out. Check to see if you have a speaker in your door. If so, you may have to pop off the plastic panel covering it, and unscrew the speaker, then disconnect the electrical connectors and take it out of the way. There should be two screws, if memory serves, underneath the grab handle of the door, and then just check the perimeter of the door panel to make sure there are no other existing screws in it. After all of the screws have been removed, you can then begin at the bottom and (carefully) pop the door panel out of its clips. Once the bottom and sides are popped out, pull up slightly to pull the entire panel up and off of the window sill. Now you can get to the actual door handle. Unbolt it, and disconnect the little clip/clips behind it which hold the metal bars in place. These bars are what pushes and pulls on the actual latch and lock assembly. Be sure not to break the clips! You may need to reuse them. The new handle can then be clipped back in, and then bolted back up. Important: Test out the function of the new handle before reinstalling the door panel and all of the accessories. If you have a problem, it will be much easier to fix or troubleshoot with the door panel already off! Make sure you dont lock yourself out of the car, in case the door handle fails. Once satisfied that the handle is working properly, install the door panel by hanging it on the window sill first, then lining up the clips and snapping them back in, this usually works best with a little smack of the palm against the door panel. If a clip will not go in, check to make sure it is properly installed and lined up. Once the door panel is fully lined up, screw in the two screws located underneath the arm rest/grab handle, and any other screws you may have removed. Install the speaker (if youve removed it) along with its plastic cover. Pop in the plastic covering for the interior door handle, and screw that in as well. Pop the plastic covering back on that. Now, reconnect and pop the window switch/door lock switches back in, and you should be good to go!

2003 Kia Sedona. Replacing the driver's door external handle.

I answer to your statement these door handles are mounted with 4 small bolts located inside the door frame. You will need to remove the door card to get access to them. Once the 4 bolts are removed the handle can be lifted out far enough to remove the pull bar the handle operates. The handle should then simply lift out. Refitting is the opposite of this method.

2009 Kia Spectra. How do you fix a broken door handle that won't open from the inside of car?

The window being off track has probably fouled or damaged the door handle mechanism. The videos for both jobs should help. It is messy in there with wax so wear latex or vinyl gloves.

Door does not open from inside

I would appear the rod/cable actuator from inside door handle to the latch has either come undone or broken. Most of the time the clip that keeps it in place has slipped off. Or if it's plastic, has broken. Best advise to repair, go to local parts store and purchase a repair manual that covers your make and model years. I have Chilton/Haynes. They have a chapter that covers the repair, care and maintenance of the interior trim, etc. There are instructions with pictures of how to remove interior door panels and trim. And instructions on repairing the door mechanisms. This problem is a common one with all cars made from the 1980's onward. We have a 95 Kia Sephia that the door handles, both inside and outside, on the passenger front will work or not, on the whim of the car. Just one of those gremlins you have to chase every now and then. Best of luck on your repairs.
