Good! Here is how to do it at home without loosing money and time at the dealership or the shop three blocks down the road.

Grab your toolbox and the new handle you’ve just bought and let’s start.
  • Unscrew the two screws that hold the interior panel of the trunk lid and gently remove it, taking care not to damage the few clips that keeps it in place
  • There are four screws that keep the handle attached to the trunk, so locate them according to the video bellow and remove them (make sure you disconnect the cables for the plate number)
  • Put the new handle in the place and attach it with the provided screws
  • Reattach the cables and put back the plastic panel
  • Close the trunk, take two steps back and admire your work
