I just worked on removing the exterior door handle of my new Audi Q5L, it's pretty straightforward but don't be careless. When doing it myself, I prepared a plastic pry tool and a T25 screwdriver—avoid using metal tools to prevent scratching the paint. First, gently pry from the handle gap with the pry tool to release the clips. There are small bolts inside; once unscrewed, the handle comes loose. After removal, clean it or replace with new parts for better durability. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, but remember: disconnect the car battery to prevent accidental triggering of the safety system. Beginners should watch video tutorials first to get a feel for it. Avoid frequent removal and installation to prevent clip wear, which could affect sealing.
