yeah that is the dumbest thing to do.. just in case something that you taped on falls loose.. it eventually will because when you use that latch, it will tend to bend more as you pull the door handle more frequently.. just bend that latch on the locking mechanism upwards and you will be good to go...

The front are piece of cake, but the rear one are pretty tough because you have to wiggle to remove the lock.

It's quite some work. Could take up to an hour per door depending on skills.

fronts are easy, rears are slightly harder but its purely down to luck.

Is this just the handle and covering, such that you have to use the mechanical parts from the existing handle?
