Default Rennline Door handle install

Anybody mounted the Aluminum door handles? Always felt like the stock ones were a little cheap feeling. I just ordered a set and was wondering how hard they are to install.

It came without instructions. Do i just pop off those teeny little clips on the top and bottom of the vertical pole?
I don't have to take off anything from the doorcard?

Exactly, a bit of a fiddle but basically just pop off the little clips (needle nose pliers, a flat screwdriver, plenty of light, plenty of patience) and slide the bar out....pretty easy.

To remove the old ones from the door, you need to undo a bar that attaches the door handle to the lock mechanism.

Just slightly pull your existing door handle open and you can see it attached to the other side.
then use a screw driver to pop it up. The rest is as instructed above.

I think you need to remove the actual door handle bar (or whatever it's called) from the door card though. If you've done that already... just ignore my advice

Stumbled across this thread that partially goes into how to do it: https://rennlist.com/forums/964-forum/189690-door-panel-removal-guide.html
