Release Handle

The process of reassembling the rear door handle starts with cleaning both the rear door glass and the outer vehicle body. Use the same steps to install the rear door glass which were used for the left-hand side. The procedure for installing the access door glass outer Weather Strip and access door outside moulding sub-assembly follows the same steps as the ones used for the LH side. The access panel lower lock stop requires installation with a "Torx" socket wrench T40 that applies 23 Nm (235 kgf-cm) torque (17 ft-lbf). To install the new access panel Weather Strip use 20 clips and after that 6 clips must be engaged. Embed the access panel check assembly in sliding areas with MP grease before mounting it to the door panel while using 2 nuts set at 5.5 Nm (56 kgf-cm, 49 in-lbf) torque and applying adhesive to the bolt thread before securing the assembly to the body panel at 30 Nm (306 kgf-cm, 22 ft-lbf). Secure the rear door opening trim along with a new rear door service hole cover making sure the seals operate effectively. The access panel lock striker plate can be installed with 2 T40 "Torx" socket wrench screws at 23 Nm (235 kgf-cm, 17 ft-lbf) torque. A "Torx" socket wrench T30 must be used to install the access panel lock cancel lever assembly at a torque level of 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf). Attach the MP grease to sliding and rotating parts of the access panel lock remote control before bolting it to the vehicle with 2 screws and a clip using a torque setting of 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) and connecting the rod and connector clamp. Install the access panel lower and upper lock assemblies according to the specified procedure. The access panel inside handle sub-assembly should get installed using 3 bolts that require 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque while also receiving rod connection. The worker should install the front shoulder belt anchor adjuster assembly before proceeding with the front seat outer belt assembly. Connect the 2 clips for the center pillar upper garnish installation before fastening it with 2 screws and one clip. Attach the rear door trim bracket by using two screws before you use nine clips to install the rear door trim board and fasten the front seat belt outer (floor side) using a bolt with a torque of 42 Nm (428 kgf-cm, 31 ft-lbf). Attach the No. 1 cup holder using a screw and install the rear door inside handle sub-assembly by sitting the snap ring on the access panel inside handle. The lap belt outer anchor cover and the access panel rear Weather Strip must be installed using 3 claws. The cable installation requires a torque of 3.9 Nm (40 kgf-cm, 35 in-lbf) when securing it to the negative battery terminal.

The first step to disassemble the rear door handle requires cable disconnection from the negative terminal of the battery. Use a clip remover to remove the access panel rear Weather Strip after disconnecting its 3 claws leading to lap belt outer anchor cover removal. When you insert a clip remover between the door handle and door trim you need to turn the handle then you can remove both the rear door inside handle and snap ring. The next step requires screw removal followed by the No. 1 cup holder and then a bolt removal to break the connection between the front seat belt outer (floor side) before separating the rear door trim panel through disengaging all 9 clips. Take off the No. 1 door trim bracket by detaching its 2 screws before removing the center pillar upper garnish through clip removal and disconnection of 2 screws and 2 clips. After removing the front seat outer belt assembly future steps include removing the front shoulder belt anchor adjuster assembly. You can remove the access panel inside handle by disconnecting the rod and taking off its 3 bolts, and afterward unclipping rod and disconnecting the connector clamp to remove the access panel lock remote control after unscrewing two bolts. The task requires a "Torx" socket wrench T30 to extract the 2 screws on the access panel lock cancel lever while another "Torx" socket wrench T40 is needed to eliminate the 2 screws on the access panel lock striker plate. Gently remove the bolt then 2 nuts to detach the access panel check while preserving it from both damage and drop. The process also includes stripping rear door service hole cover and rear door opening trim. The disengagement of 6 clips requires a clip remover to remove the 20 clips before taking out the access panel Weather Strip. Use a "Torx" socket wrench T40 to remove the access panel lower lock stop after which you should remove the access door outside moulding sub-assembly and the access door glass outer Weather Strip before proceeding to take off the rear door glass.

Remove the power window regulator switch assembly and the door control switch.
