Volvo XC40 rear door outer handle removal method: First, open the car door. There is a screw on the side of the door at the same height as the door handle. After removing the screw, the door handle can be taken off. Different car models have different removal methods. If you really need to remove it, it is recommended to seek professional help from a 4S store or maintenance personnel. The Volvo XC40 is Volvo's first model built on the CMA platform, with body dimensions of 4425mm in length, 1863mm in width, and 1652mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2702mm. In terms of appearance, the Volvo XC40 continues the design of the overseas version, retaining the polygonal front grille and the Thor's Hammer daytime running lights, among other family-style designs, giving it a fashionable, agile, and sporty feel. The side view also reveals the Volvo XC40's robust body lines.
As a young car enthusiast who frequently tinkers with vehicles, I find removing the rear door outer handle of a Volvo XC40 not particularly difficult. First, you need to open the door and start from the interior side. Carefully use a trim removal tool to pry open the inner cover panel on the door—be cautious here as it's easy to scratch the paint (I once accidentally scuffed mine). Then, you'll spot screws or clips securing the handle; loosen the screws or gently push the clips to slowly pull it outward. Take your time throughout the process—no rush. I recommend preparing a small toolkit to avoid losing any parts. After removal, inspect if it’s damaged and needs replacement, or simply clean out dust. When reinstalling, ensure proper alignment and press firmly, or else the door might make odd noises when closed. The whole job takes under half an hour—DIY brings great satisfaction and saves repair costs too!
