Mine broke, so I had to buy a new one for the passenger side. So how do I go about taking out the old interior door handle and putting in a new one?

I just recently replaced my driver side handle, You can either drill out the rivet on the out handle, or pry it off, I pryed the handle until the rivet popped off, but you'd be better to drill it out, its less risky. To put the new one in slide it in place (theres a tab on it that slides into the door, hookup your rods to the handle, and find an appropriate nut and bolt to hold it, or you can put a new rivet in it, I did the new rivet, mainly because I work in a body shop and have easy access to all that stuff. The rivet will hold it more securely but a nut and bolt will work just fine(Just more of a pain in the a** to get it tightened)

 

Remove the plastic cover, which has a Torx screw holding it on. The handle itself is pop-riveted to the door panel. Drill out the old rivets, install the new handle with pop rivets.

Assuming 'Birds are like Camaros, that is.

 

What does the rivet look like? I need a pic. Can I go buy one from an auto parts store?

 

You've got PM.
