Instructions for Removing the Rear Door Handle

Model: BMW Serie 7 E66, E67, E68, E65, MK 4 - Years 2001-2008
Part: Handle

If you need to remove the external handle of the rear door, it is important to clarify right away that it is not necessary to remove the door panel (in the video, the panel was removed to show how the fastening mechanism works). That said, open the door and locate the plastic cap right behind the lock, near the handle. Once you remove the cap and the corresponding gasket, use a hook screwdriver to grasp and extract the fastening tab of the handle, which can then be removed from its seat after disengaging the retaining clip of the control cable.
