Question
I am planning to replace an outside driver door handle on this 93 Beretta for a lady I work with. I was wondering how much trouble can I expect? I have taken the plastic cover off and looked at it. There doesn't seem like a lot to it, but I haven't seen the new handle that she has already bought.
Thank you

Hello Scott! They're pretty straight forward, especially when you look at the new part. The lock is held in with a torx screw, it may need heated up with a heat gun to break the locktite on the threads. I think there are 2 big dome nuts, and maybe you have to remove the screw that holds the end of the outer window belt strip. The rods just snap on to the obnoxious little metal clips. To remove the clips, just pry up the tab end of the clips, and slide it off of of the little arm. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate this a 2 in difficulty. Bill
