Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Handle

Today's guide will allow us to disassemble and replace the interior door handle of the front door of the Mini Cooper One. First, let's open the front door of the car and start removing the plastic cover of the grab handle; then we will unscrew the screws of the handle and the window lift button, disconnecting the electrical connector located underneath. At this point, we also remove the speaker by unscrewing the screws located on the sides; we then remove the handle and replace it with the new original one, finally reassembling all the other components.
