Installation recommendations

Generally/typically, replacing the exterior door handle requires removing the interior door trim and careful manipulation of the lock rods or controls. The exact procedure may vary depending on the specific model and make of the car.

1) Before assembly

• Check whether the new part matches the old handle in terms of shape, fit, mounting side and design.
• Compare the product number 9101EP and the KKQD designation, if traceable on the original part.
• Check the condition of the attachment points for cracks, deformation or other damage.
• Check the painted surface and moving parts of the handle for smooth operation and no excessive play.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• set of common hand tools
• screwdrivers and bits for panel removal
• plastic pry bar for removing upholstery
• detergent for removing dirt
• soft cloth or tea towel

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the vehicle against movement and open the door you will be working on.
2. Remove the inner door trim to access the handle attachment and associated mechanisms.
3. Carefully disconnect parts that prevent the handle from being removed, such as covers or control connections.
4. Unfasten the original handle and handle the handle in such a way as not to damage the paintwork or surrounding parts.
5. Remove the old handle and compare it with the prepared used part.
6. Clean the landing surfaces and check the condition of the door mechanism around the assembly.
7. Place the new handle in the correct position and carefully seat it in the hole.
8. Reattach any control parts that were disconnected during disassembly.
9. Tighten the fastening so that the handle fits firmly, but without unnecessary overloading of the fastening.
10. Before reassembling the trim, test the operation of the handle and the function of opening the door several times.
11. Reinstall the inner door trim and all the removed covers.
12. Perform a final check for appearance, fit and smoothness of operation.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and functional test verification
  • Try opening and closing the door repeatedly from the outside and inside.
  • Verify that the crank operates smoothly without rubbing or stuttering.
  • Check whether the handle rests properly and there is no play in the attachment.
  • Check that there is no contact with the surrounding paint or paneling during handling.

  • Door trim damage – use appropriate plastic tools and remove the trim carefully.
  • Incorrect seat of the handle – before tightening, check the position and correct seating in the body.
