FP I dont have a "how to" manual for the door handles but I did remove them once when I installed the lambo doors. Just remove the interior side panels of the door and the handles are right there clipped to the door. They came off easy and I just reversed my steps to re-attach them. But if you're going for that "no door handle/remote door open look" NICE idea and good luck.

I suspect he is either having them chromed or blacked out

Default Re: How to remove outside door handles

Just removed mine, had to paint the door. It can be done without removing the inside panel 4mm allen removed rubber weatherstripping a few inches from the inside, that screw holds on the push button (it's not supposed to fall into the door per manual). Then the push button will separate from the handle and it will also expose a philiip's head screw from the outside. There is a second screw on the opposite end of the handle that holds that gasket in place. No linkage to remove and then it will come off. To be on the safe side, the 4mm screw needs to be taped to hold in place, if not, you shut the door it will fall inside. Don't ask me how I know. PS in the manual - it says left hand door, right hand thread: right front door, left hand thread. But mine were both right hand threads.
