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.
