With handle off put both rods from latch into the latch. Take 2 of the 3 latch bolts out. put key in the lock, install both rods. take #3 bolt from latch ( dont drop latch ) lower latch and turn key and install handle and lift the latch and put bolts back in. Make sure the rod dont come out of the latch. You dont have to take the trim panel off. You can go in thru the vent in the door jam but its tricky. Matt typ'n w/1 finger
