Auto body repair & detailing: Inside door handle, toyota corolla, corolla


Question
I'm trying to replace the inside door handle in my Toyota Corolla. I can get the little white piece snapped on to the arm, but when I try to place the handle in the door, it pops off. Is there a trick to this? Am I going to have to remove the door panel?

Answer
no trick really, the clip actually stretches out and does not stay on as well as when it was never removed. Save yourself the headache and remove the door panel. Remember to be careful prying on the clips. and don't forget the screws around the door handle.
