You don't need to remove the handle or the latch. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 121 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 121 | alright, i know which clip you are talking about.if im looking at the clip from the inside side, which way does it move.or does it matter? what part of the door do i get to it from,do i have the window down to get to it? im confused as to how i get to it.
Thanks,
