2) Pop off the painted trim piece that is around the key hole on the exterior of the door.
3) Pop off the black plastic oval on the side of the door. (2 pieces)
4) The hex screw (#17) that holds the carrier is located inside this hole. You will NOT see the screw by looking directly into the hole towards the front of the car. You must look into the hole as if you were looking at the side of the door (It took me a while to find this screw, just don't look into the hole directly because the screw is off to the side). The hex screw that holds the carrier screws into the lock assembly, you could see the hole from the outside. Once you find the screw remove it.
5. After removing the hex screw, the lock assembly (key hole) is lose. Gently pry out the entire assembly (the end of the shaft has a star shaped structure that presses into another piece when putting everything back together)
6. Now you could see the bolt and nut that holds the handle to part of the door carrier. The bolt has a square head. Remove this bolt.
Can the door lock cover and lock be removed via the bolt under the plastic cover at the rear end of the door and without removing the door panel? I just want to check if the bolt shown below is loose and allowing my door handle to droop down a bit. Thanks
