Help! Just bought h3 with some repairs needed

[critternurse]

I have no idea what I'm doing...having never belonged to a car forum before! We just bought a 2008 h3 from a private owner, and we need to replace the right front inside door handle. Can anyone give me advice or point me in the right direction?

there is a youtube video that details how to remove the inside guts of a door to replace the handle ,believe it is for changing door speakers ??

Super easy.

Ya, just remove the door panel per the youtube videos.

Thanks for the info. Removing the panel seems fairly easy, unplugging all of the electrical seems daunting!

Electrical is just clips, usually with retainer tabs that you press down to release them. You may want to purchase retainer clips ahead of time - 15 year old plastic has a good chance of breaking when you pop them out. Also get some good nylon trim tools.
