Hyundai Santa Fe - Video tutorial

Model: Hyundai Santa Fe MK 1 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Handle
Operation: External door handle replacement

If you need to replace the external door handle, consider having it painted as the new handle is supplied not in the same color as the car but simply with primer; having said this, in order to disassemble the handle, the door panel must first be disassembled: then remove the fixing screws located along the edges, inside the seat of the opening lever and of the internal handle; remove the triangular-shaped covering applied in correspondence with the seat of the external rear-view mirror, unhook the panel and disconnect the handle cable and the window lifter socket; at this point it is possible to intercept the fixing pins of the external handle and before disassembling them, release the control rod of the lock; remove the old handle and proceed backwards to install the new one.
