Remove/Replace H3 door handles

[rv_1022]

I recently purchased SMA chrome billet door handle replacements for my 2007 H3. The local Hummer dealership is charging me $140/hr (5 hour job) to remove old handles and install the new ones.

Has anyone removed/replaced door handles themselves? How easy or hard is it? Any instructions available?

New to the forum. So thanks for the help!!

I bought the same handles. They are more time consuming to install then the factory chrome handles. The factory handles you just snap out the old and snap in the new. But the SMA handles need pins installed. To install the pins you have to remove the glass from the doors. It took me about 3 hours to install them and I'm a mechanic. But they do look great! Mine came with instructions! Didn't yours?

Mines did come with 2 pages of instructions, but they are not legible. Both text and pictures are smeared. Trying to get reprints from SMA, but no luck. Thanks for your reply.

SMA got bought out buy another company. I'll look around and see if I still have them. I could install them for you. I live in Clovis which is about three hours from San Jose. I grew up in San Jose!

Thanks for looking into finding the instructions for me. I really appreciate it. Out of curiousity, how much would you charge to install them for me?
