Gently pry off the small clip with your hand. Insert a T-20 spline into the small hole and loosen the screw inside. Pull outward with your hand to remove the lock cylinder and small cover. Finally, hold the door handle with your hand and pull it backward to detach the door handle of the Volvo S90.
Removing the Volvo S90 door handle isn't difficult from a DIY perspective. Here's how: First open the door, locate the edge of the interior trim panel, and gently pry it open with a plastic pry tool to avoid scratches. There are usually two or three small screws securing the handle inside. Loosen these screws with a Phillips screwdriver, then carefully pull out the handle while being mindful of any connected wiring (if equipped with keyless entry, mark the connector orientation before unplugging). The whole process takes about 10-15 minutes and only requires a pry tool and screwdriver. After removal, you can clean accumulated dust or replace worn handles - Volvo's design is quite thoughtful though the screws tend to rust; spraying some WD-40 helps with reassembly. Safety tip: Ensure the engine is off and disconnect power to prevent accidental airbag wire contact. Beginners should watch video tutorials beforehand to avoid costly/slow dealership visits.
