I had a similar problem. You can swap front to back but understand that the driver's door handle is programmed to only unlock that door. All the other handles unlock ALL doors. Worth knowing if you're worried about security - all doors will unlock when you use CA on the driver's door (with the rear handle installed.)


As for the removal/install - check youtube. It's so simple once you do it. I can do it in 2 mins.



Do a VIN search and find your paint code - then hit eBay. I got my driver's door handle for $75 shipped and pass rear for $55. Realoem.com will show all the compatible part numbers. It's a little work but worth it for the savings.


Good luck!
