Driver Door Handle Replacement (Right Side)
🪛 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: 🔍Identify the Problem
The door handle is cracked inside and feels loose. This makes it impossible to open the door from the outside—a clear sign that the internal plastic mechanism has failed.
Step 2: 🧩Disassemble the Door Panel
Start by accessing the internal door components:
Remove the screw near the inner door handle.
Slightly pull out the rear part of the armrest and insert a trim tool to lift it fully.
Disconnect the mirror control connector.
Remove the screw at the rear of the panel.
Detach the lower door frame bracket garnish (RH).
Remove the door glass run channel if necessary.
Step 3: 🔧Remove the Trim Panel (Clip Disengagement)
Before removing the full door panel:
Disengaged the specific clip shown in the video using a pry tool or flathead screwdriver
Carefully work your way around the panel, prying out the clips one by one.
Step 4: 🛡️Access the Handle Area
Once the panel is off:
Carefully peel back the plastic moisture barrier to access the inner door mechanism.
Step 5: 🔩Remove the Broken Handle
Remove the bolts holding the handle from the inside.
Disconnect the door lock linkage and electrical connector (for the handle button).
Pull out the broken handle—it should be visibly cracked or snapped.
Step 6: 🆕Install the New Handle
Insert the new handle from the outside.
Reconnect the lock linkage and electrical connector.
Step 7: 🧱Reassemble the Door Panel
Install all components in the reverse order of removal.
Reapply the plastic moisture barrier.
Reinstall the door glass run channel.
Reattach the door trim panel by engaging the clip as shown in the video.
Reconnect the control window switch connector and snap the panel back into place.
Step 8: ✅Final Test
Press the lock/unlock button on the handle to ensure the electronics work.
Open and close the door several times to confirm smooth operation.
✅ Conclusion
Replacing a broken driver-side door handle on the Perodua Axia 2017 Advance might seem like a job for the workshop, but with the right tools and a bit of patience, it’s a DIY task you can confidently handle at home.
