Step 28. Replace the plastic surround for the door handle.

Step 29. Put the plastic triangle back on the door

Step 30. Screw in the door handles screws - I hit mine with a light coat of rustoleum paint when I took them out - so they don't surface rust any more.

When done - test the door for smooth operation when opening and closing, door locking and the window up and down.

Mine seemed to work better than before.

Total time: 3.5 hours including time to take pix. Knowing what I know now - it would likely take me less than that.

Good luck.
