i heard it's no a simple install... think you got take apart the keyhole portion of the lock inorder to remove the oem cover, then install the keyhole back on and put the new cover on top of it.

I dont even know where to start....does anyone know?

kham619 · 10-11-2007, 06:24 PM

Take it to a shop before you mess it up even more LOL

jinkazama0619 · 10-11-2007, 06:27 PM

Here's the instructions from Bimmian

this is a 1 minute mod..literally..

open door, remove black plastic cap. Find correct allen wrench to unscrew bolt under that plastic cap. Pull locking mechanism out, put new one in place and tighten bolt again. The bolt does not come out, just turn until it is completely loose then pull entire locking mechanism out of the door.

jinkazama0619 · 10-11-2007, 08:00 PM

thank you sounds easy i will try it tomorrow

all I did was type "keyhole" in the search field and hit enter.

although, I've had better luck with this vendor's service:
