DIY-Door handle removal

bumblez · 01-16-2011, 01:22 PM

I know there's already has DIY by 209Z DIY Removal of Door Handles , but had no pics of installation. So here it is

Tools Required:
Rachet&10mm socket
Flat head screw driver(for

Driver's
1. Locate& remove 2 rubber grommets.

2.unbolt the 3, 10mm bolts. 1on top hole and 2 on bottom hole.
*Be careful Screw can fall inside the door. I used magnetic screw driver*

3.pull up & out on the door handles.

4.You will see two wires. One for the Keyless entry(black wire) and other wire to physically open the door(Metal wire). Pop out 2 clips that holding the black wire and disconnect. And pop out the metal wire.

5. Driver's side done. Take 5 min brake

Passenger's

The only difference between Driver's and Passenger's is number of bolts.
Driver's has 3 10mm bolts and Passenger's has 2 10mm bolts. Other then its almost same.

All Finish!! Do whateva u want!! (Paint or Replace with others)
I swapped mine with Simot1's CF door handles. Thanks Simot!!

Nice write up

I might add that once you detach the Driver side handle? That both windows will automatically roll down as a safety precaution, And will have to be reset once reinstalled.

In that case, might as well at the reset procedure to this thread:

1. Turn the ignition from OFF to ON, you don't have to start the car for this. Just press the start button until it gets to the ON state, usually OFF > ACC > ON.
2. The airbag light should turn on, wait until it turns off (it should stay on for 7 secs and then turn off) and then turn the ignition to OFF within 1 second.
3. Wait more than 3 seconds after the ignition turns OFF.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3, twice. (Total 3 times)

Looks awesome

I also have a magnetic black z that I want to have matching handles. Could you tell me what you used (type of paint, exact color, coats, clear etc...)?

TWYNBYZ · 06-28-2011, 11:29 AM

Gents,

I'm having an issue with that 2nd bolt on the drivers side door handle. Being that its to the right, I cannot get firm traction with my screw drive or socket wrench. Was there any specialized tool that you used??? I want to avoid stripping the screw......

Thanks

I just picked up my 370 yesterday and I like the look of the black door handles. Even CF has a nice look to it.

Coon-azz · 10-05-2012, 10:33 AM

I like the CF door handles. So, where can I get a set?
