    Default How to remove handle on hatch door

    Hi everyone,

    Has anyone ever removed the handle on the hatchdoor of a 2015 mazda 3 sport? See picture below (not mine). It seems like on my car, the handle is reversed and my hand is slipping whenever i use it.

    Got the car 2nd hand so idk

    Thanks for your help!

    Does the handle curve in a certain way where you can pull down?

    You can't remove the handle only, you have to remove the whole plastic piece. I think you maybe grabbing it wrong.

    @messupdude i have to double check when i get home but whenever i use it my hand just slips. Cant even grip it without straining my wrist
    @Teh_baje i see i see so gotta remove the whole panel then?

    Nah i tried grabbing it every way i can. Even my family complains that their hands just slip.

    You grip the inside of the handle with your fingers. Your fingers curl into the hollow of the handle.
