Most of the time all you need to do is swap the two handles and flip the latch over so the angled part of the latch is on the other side, so it will self latch when you close the door.
f the screw head is stripped you will have to replace the knob and screw. Try holding the screw head and turn the handle is its a single knob. Otherwise use a hacksaw or dremel tool and cut about 3/8" away from the door surface, once you cut through you can use a small punch to push the screw through the door then pliers to pull it out. Alternately you could use a dremel tool and carefully grind the head of the screw down until you can brake the head off and pull the handle and screw out through the front.
You will have to carefully drill them out. Start with a small bit and slowly work up to a bigger one as you go once most of the head is drilled out the latch should pull off, you can then use vice grips to unscrew the remaing part of the screws.
you need to remove the inner door panel.you will have to look for the screws holding the panel on at the arm rest area and behind the door handle.were the door lock lever is you will have to remove the plastic cover.then if you have power windows its easier as you don`t have to remove window handle,if its manual windows then there is a clip that must be removed to remove the handle,its located between the handle and the door panel and usually faces the handle knob,push the clip off of the handle.then you will have to go around the edge of the panel along the side and bottom and pull outward to disconnect the push in clips from the door.then move the panel to remove it from the door(may have to disconnect wire connectors).then in the upper right area of the inner door panel the bolts will be visible,make sure window is up.remove bolts and electrical wires if power mirrors and remove the mirror.install in reverse order.
hi,
most screws are visible to you, there are two screws hidden in the grab handle(which will just lever off, away from the door)
when all screws (along the bottom and the top closest to the A pillar) are removed the plastic must be pulled away from the door, as it is now held on with push clips. once removed , the window lifter mechanism will have to be removed, but by the sounds of it , I'd say the lifter is what's broken. it is a fairly common fault

The handle does slide up off of the handle bracket where a screw will be visible . Remove the screws and on the other side of the door , remove the faceplate for the top screw and the plug for the bottom screw . These should pop back in the screw holes from where the handle was . If you do not see a small hex screw close to the top of the handle and bottom , then yes , the handle will pop upwards to remove . Dont try by just lifting , pop upwards with your hand or rubber mallet . Remember , these handles were made to be tight on the doors to last a long time without comeing loose .
