Replacing 05 Mustang v6 door Handles

Davebenroberts · January 20th, 2010, 10:29 AM

So, I've purchased two new door handles for my mustang, and i wanted to know if anyone had any idea where to start with their installation. I'm assuming that the door panel will need to be removed, but I'd Love to know what tools i will need and exactly what i should remove or not remove. If anyone has any form of manual or just simply instructions it would be much appreciated!

obviously a screw driver to get the panel off, and then i would recommend another really small flat head screwdriver to get some of the electrical plugs undone behind the panel.. those can be a beast to get off sometimes.. other than that u should b pretty much good to go... im not sure exactly the construction on removing the handle in the door.. (havent had to mess with that yet), but as far as getting the panel off ur set.. everything unplugs and unsnaps.. easy off and on.. dont get in a hurry tho, if you do, you might break some of the plastic clips n stuff you need to get the panel back on... just take your time and be patient and it all works

Did you have to get the new door handles re-keyed or does that come out of the one getting replaced? I was also thinking about getting 2 new chrome ones.

I didnt have to get it re-keyed. the handles go around the keyhole. It installs from the exterior, and bolts from inside the door panel

Installed the Passengers Side! Looks great. Drivers side is on back order. Fairly Straight forward install. No problems what-so-ever!
