At one point I replaced a passenger side mirror, which broke due to some water/ice build up. To do so, one has to remove the door.
"Sure!" I thought. "I'll figure out how to do that." I assumed the door slipped over the plastic thing that goes around the door handle. I was wrong, but I had to break it to figure this out.

Signing UpStep 1Unscrew the assebly
Oh! There's a screw! Um. Now I know.
There's a small panel just above the handle. You'll need a small screw driver to pry it open. After doing so, there's a phillips head screw to unscrew, and the whole thing comes off.
Learn from my pain.

=o On our 92 Accord coupe, something similar happened, except the ENTIRE THING BROKE IN HALF. To fix it is a matter of removing two screws, but the local Honda dealer says the part is no longer available, and the nearest junkyard is very, very, far away.<br/>

i don't know if they have it where you live but here (in Germany) there is a website where you can send a request to all (participating) junkyards in the country and they'll send you offers for the part. i recently got a front door window that way for cheap. btw. to replace it i had to disassemble the door, too, but i had instructions already. saved me about 200€. in fact, i prefer to buy cars where instructions (Haines or the like) are available. for new cars i know people who buy the garage manuals.

Indeed. I generally try to figure out if I can replace whatever it is I might break, and if so, I go for it.
