[jjos1]

Tools needed 10 mm socket, 6" extension, screw drivers (philps and flat) tape and a penny (it will make sense later)
1 remove front door panels

2 remove the plastic sheeting (be very careful when pulling the plastic rips easy)

3 unclip the clip holding the rod that goes into the handle, after the clip has been flipped up, take the penny and tape it to you're thumb, then you can push the rod out of the holder

4 remove the two 10mm bolts

5 after removing the 2 10mm bolts turn the key holder and it will fall out, then push the handle out, theres a clip at the bottom middle that holds it in

6 once the old handle is out take the new one and clip it in, then do the previous sets in reverse

Rear doors

7 take the door panels off but remove one of the rear window switches from the door panel

8 remove the plastic

9 plug in the window switch and lower the window so that you can get a socket to the 2 bolts holding the window

10 remove the 2 bolts holding the window, after the bolts have been removed lift the window up and use somthing to hold it up, (I used a rubber padded bar clamp) you could also tape the window up, just make sure it is secure

11 then remove the 3 screws arround the catch on the door

12 remove the surrounding bolts and 1 nut

13 unclip the wire holders

14 after all the bolt have been removed you can move the motor assembly just move it enough so that you can get the the bolts

15 unclip the rod

16 remove the bolts

17 unclip the the door handle

18 clip in the new door handle

19 then reverse steps 11-14 to install motor assembly

20 after the window plate is back in lower the window down and line up the 2 holes to put the 2 bolts back in

21 after the window is back in put the plastic back on and then the door panel

Very nice, I'll get this added when I can. Thanks for the submission.

[jjos1]

Thanks, I still have my back door panels off so when my camera gets cleaned I can add pics of the rear doors

Ok, this is in the DIY section now. Just update this post and then I'll add the new pics.

Two n00b questions from me.
1. Where do you get chrome handles (and make sure they are compatible with your car)
2. How do you take the door panels off :)

Well nm on #2, I found the DIY page for that. I would like to know where you people buy your parts and all these accesories for your car, and then how do you know they will fit??

Scroll up on this page, or any page you are viewing on this site and there is a blue header with links. Click on RELATED LINKS and snoop around on each of the pages there. You'll find all kinds of toys for you Elantra there.

Oh that sucks Thats why I hate SR!!! Its only available for White Silver and Black Elantras.....

[hyunelan2]

^^^ It's not just SR. Dreamka only sells them in white black and silver too. Overseas, maybe they only make a package with chome handles on white black and silver elantras?

[jjos1]

I'm going to take apart my old handles to see how hard it would be to swap the chrome part with another housing, you could also paint them

Looks very nice on Black jjos or is it Mr. Smitthers...
