i am getting ready to do this but my car doesn't have the automatic locks/windows - just a regular crank to move the window up and down. what should i do different?
@omlighcaz You would just need to remove the window crank handle and then take the door panel off. Here's a video that will show you how to take the window crank handle off. youtube.com/watch?v=dnmPVf4KNcw&feature=plcp&context=C3473a09UDOEgsToPDskLpOIkpIm-5By0Ih-FCJrKx
This video helped me remove the door handle from my camry but I didn't have nearly as much free play to get the second rod off, did I miss something or is my lack of experience to blame?
@Lebbz It really depends on the shops labor rate. If it's not a repair that you feel comfortable doing yourself, then you may want to ask a couple of auto body shops.
I have a 1997 T-100 and the passenger external door handle is broken. It obviously is disconnected from the assembly in some way close to the handle. The rest of the assembly works just fine (inside). I can open the door from the inside with the inside handle. I am uncertain what to do.
my 1997 toyota camry passenger side won't open on bothsides, i wonder if how will i do it... i asked repair shops and they told me it will cost me at least $500... i don't want to pay that much so i am here in youtube to see how will i do it myself that way i can save...
@crazyitch21 If you have two doors that won't open, and they are power door locks check to see if there's power the door lock actuators. if there is and they just do not unlock, then this video will show you how to take everything apart to check out the linkage inside of the door.
@1aauto just my passenger door has a trouble, everything works fine except that the passenger door won't open in the inside or the outside.. the repair shops told me it's a latch problem and i don't know what it is.. before the passenger door can be open in the inside but now it won't open on either the inside or out..
@crazyitch21 The latch is located on the outer edge of the door. It latches the door to a post on the body of the car called a striker. If you can take the door panel off, you may be able to reach inside of the door and release the latch by pulling on the rod that opens the door.
@1aauto okay thank you, but still not have a picture in mind how will i open my passenger door. I think it's tough but I will try eventually. I was wondering if you have a video on how to remove the door panel?
My drivers side door handle in my 1994 Toyota Camry broke of 2 years ago I just put zip ties and been using that. These cosmetic things in Toyota are cheap and easy to break but their mechanical units(engine, tranny, suspension etc) are rock solid. Got almost 300,000 miles on the Camry and only major replacement was a starter at 100k miles(which is still ok now) and majority of it life the engine check light is on which is also common in Toyota.
@PeterGriffin4200 We sell quite a few parts for the Toyota Camry including the door handle shown in our auto repair video. It's a pretty easy fix and will last a lot longer than zip ties.
This was AMAZING. I got the replacement handle that my son's dad broke and I got the panel off and had NO clue on how to get to that handle!!!!! You saved me lots of money on labor at a car shop!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Can you explain how to safely disengage the clip so that I can back the rod out of the mounting hole on the back of the door handle assembly (see the 5:00 minute mark of this video)?
I can unlatch the clip from the rod, but when I try to pull the rod back (from left-to-right), the clip won't release its grip on the tip of the mounting rod.
Words cannot describe my thanks... that door handle cover would of been broke out had you not shown how. Thank you again! Asking a mechanic to show his tricks is like asking a magician to tell his secrets because they both would be out of a job. Here you share enough to help!
Thank you so much for this video! I just wish I had found it about two hours ago. Excellent demonstration, I even took my laptop into the garage and followed every step and it was done in 5 minutes.
Great video! I wish I found this earlier today. It was really frustrating trying to remove the bezel around the inside handle without breaking it but I eventually got it off. I called it quits after that. Now I know exactly what to do tomorrow morning to finish the job. {Thumbs Up}
Great video, great part. Arrived in just a few days. Just wanted to point out that my door ('93 Camry) was slightly different. Mine had an extra screw hidden behind the courtesy light at the lower rear end of the inside door armrest. Just pop out the light housing (rectangular), disconnect the light power cable connector, and then remove the last door screw.
@Youngogirl- just did this on my parents 98 Camry. it is very similar. some screw placements are different when removing the door panel, but thats about it.
those 10mm bolts did not look tight when you were unscrewing them ..it seems you hardly used any strength or you just loosen them before hand and then you started recording...........
thanks so much for the great tips, that inner door handle was driving me nuts and I didn't want to break anything. The whole vid was great. Kudos to you guys.
I just did the same procedure a few months ago. Can you give me a price quote on the powwer window assembly? My window motor works fine but the cord inside snapped - it's similar looking to a bicycle brake line.
That's a great idea, speeding up the video to get past the mundane fastener attachments. Nice video! :)
