    Some dear (pure sarcasm :mad:) person tried to break into my wife's Prius and in doing so broke the right rear door handle .

    The replacement is about $30 here in Canada but does anyone have or can they point me to a site that shows the rear door interior ?

    I found out that the Toyota body shop will want an arm, leg and door handle to install the new one .

    Thanks

    Removing the rear door's inside panel is fairly straight-forward.
    Two screws to remove - one in the inside door handle (visible screw)
    - the other is located under the inside door latch (you can see it after you remove the plastic piece under the chrome latch).
    After the screws are remove, the rest are just snap-ons. Apply gentle but increasing force starting from the bottom side and move on to left and right. It will become clear once you get it started. There are some wirings to disconnect after that.

    Was there anything left sitting visible inside the car? Or was the vandal purely on a fishing expedition?
