How to Replace the External Door Handle on a Chevrolet Cruze?

Model: Chevrolet Cruze MK 1, J300 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Handle

To replace the external door handle on a Chevrolet Cruze, first remove the internal panel: loosen the screws located in the handle recess, near the window switch and under the triangular cover by the external mirror. Disconnect the connectors to completely remove the panel; by loosening the two additional screws, you can shift the fabric cover. Now, insert a screwdriver into the side of the door to move the tab and extract the end part of the external handle. After removing this part, you can also detach the actual handle.
