Removing the Internal Door Handle

Model: Mazda Cx 7 MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Handle

To remove the internal door handle, you must first take off the door trim panel: there are only two fixing screws, one inside the handle housing which requires removing the internal cover of the handle itself, and the other at the bottom of the armrest; once the screws are removed, take off the triangular plastic cover behind the mirror and detach the panel by pulling out the handle; complete the removal by disconnecting the window switch connector, the lock cable, and the safety cable.

The preliminary operation is to detach the rear wheel arch from the bumper to access the screws underneath that secure the bumper (the wheel arch detaches by extracting the two plastic screws with a lever). Now unscrew all the screws around the perimeter of the bumper (you can see them by opening the rear hatch) and now you can detach the plastic from the bodywork by gently pulling it outwards: during this operation, be careful not to break the locking pins. Once you have extracted and replaced the bumper, you can reposition it and secure it by following the same operations done previously.
