Can someone out there give me step by step instructions on installing a door handle on my S4? My driver's side broke so I have to go around the passenger side and open my driver side door from the inside and it's a total pain. I have the spare that the previous owner gave to me, just need to know how to do it so thanks!

 

well you have to remove the door panel, has some screwws int he arm rest , remove hte cup around hte inside door handel, and rear bottom corner and front upper corner maybe even one in the low front.... then the rest are those snap clip ones that pop out, u may wnat to remove the black triangle piece where hte mirror is too that pops off, but carefully they like to break!

roll your window down part way to where u can see the bolts that hold it to the regulator ( theres two) take those off, take window out,

then u can look and see the 2 bolts that hold the door handle , u need to pop off the linkage first too its a funky looking plastic peice. then it should come right out

 

jesus man dont take out the window you can get one of the bolts out with the window upo and the other with the window down, no offense but thats extra work thats a big pita.
and be careful not to brake the plastic rod holders.

 

You can actually get to both of them with the window up, if neccesary. Its a PITA, though.

 

Just roll the window up and down...it's much more simple. Oh, and don't forget to switch out your lock cylinders. It's very easy...just a clip (And maybe two screws for the alarm sensor if you've got the factory alarm, but it may not be necessary. I haven't looked in ages.) and it comes right out.

Also make sure you've got the handle flush before you try and bolt it down. And check to see that locking/unlocking and open/close work alright before you go putting the interior panel back on.

I know I'm stating some obvious things, but it's a good reminder.
