Insert the end of a slotted screwdriver between the handle trim on the power window and the socket. Separate the handle trim from the socket by pushing them apart. Remove the cladding material of the handle. Pull the socket out of the door and the handle itself.

Using a slotted screwdriver, use a slotted screwdriver to remove the seven plastic clips securing the upholstery on the side of the door. Pull the trim downward and remove it from the inner door handle.

Use a number 8 wrench to loosen the nut securing the front groove. Slide the plastic plug, slide the groove down, and detach it from the pivot window frame. Remove the front channel from the door. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws on the front door handle. Press the handle into the door.
