How To Install Fox Body Mustang Inner Door Handle (79-93)

With a not-so-durable plastic construction, the 79-93 Mustang inner door handles are well known for breakage and failure. The trim bezels that go over the inner door handles are even more prone to cracking and breaking and oftentimes are missing altogether. These 50Resto replacement handles are top quality and the best currently available. They are textured like the originals and are a direct fit for 1979-1993 Mustang. NOTE: Removing the door panel to replace the inner door handle is optional, but it does make life easier. Check out our Fox Mustang Door Panel Removal Video for more info. A screw, disengage the latch rod and done. Literally takes minutes! Pick up your 50Resto door handles individually or in a complete kit with new trim bezels.
