SOURCE: Door Panel removal

remove all visable screws from panel and arm rest. Arm rest should come off. Use a flat thin tool or piece of metal and slip it between the panel and the metal door frame. Slip it in about 2 inches,. Slide it back or forth til you hit a stop. That should be a plastic pop in.twist metal tool to pull panel away from the door. It should pop away from door frame. Don't overdo it if it doesn't come out. try another spot. once you get one loose, you can tell how to get the others out. Once panel is loose push it upwards to get top lip out of window bottom. If it has power windows,disconnect plug. If it has manual windows, you will have to remove the window crank There is a snap ring behind window crank that has to be removed.push in on panel by window crank and you can see the ring.

there is a pin in the door handle might have broke off there are two 10 mm nuts that will release the handle but you have to take the door panels off and remove it any local junk yard should have it or can order it for you

SOURCE: How to install a pontiac G6 driver door handle

Yeah, you have to remove the lock. Use an impact drill with the right phillips head to remove the screws. if you try to take them out with a screw driver, you will strip them. Remember...impact drill.

Driver door handle is broken (inside and out), doesn't work. how do i replace it?

you will have to remove the interior door panel inside to access the linkage to open the door you, Check the door handle if it is broken inside and out. The outside door handle is bolted on the inside one may have to drill a rivet out. You can use a bolt and nut to reinstall it make sure it isnt too long. Or you can rivet it back in. You will have to inspect the linkage and check out the adjustment and the plastic retainers sometimes you need to replace those they will come with new handles.The window has to be up to access the outside door handle from the inside.

The handle where the rods are attached could be broken or disconnected inside your door. You will need to remove the interior door panel to figure out what the problem is.

Driver side door wont open from outside

Fortunately, it means that the mechanicals of the door opening device are working right, if you can open from the inside. The rigid wire that connects the outside handle to the door opening mechanism became loose, or a plastic connector broke. Disassemble the door panel, reach the handle from the inside, and see if there is a thin rod dangling somewhere, and if not broken, just put it back in place.
