In this video we're going to show you outside front door handle replacement on this 2002 GMC Sierra, same as any Sierra, Silverado, also the Yukon, Tahoe, and Suburbans. This does pertain to '99 to '02, '03 and up is a little different to get the door panel off. Tools you'll need are a 7mm and 10mm socket with ratchet and extension, and a flat bade screw driver.

Remove the door panel, pull off that trim panel there. On these '99 to '02s, you can lift it up a little bit, then if you look through you'll be able to see a little metal tab, press on that tab, lift up, that comes up and off. You press on a lever here to disconnect there, disconnect there, use my screw driver. There's a little tab, push in and pry up on the tab at the same time. Disconnect that. With the screwdriver, pop off your lock, and then pop off this panel here around the door handle, and then the back and the light here. Disconnect that light. There are two 7mm bolts, one right here, and then one down under the arm rest. I'm going to fast forward here as I remove those two 7mm bolts that hold on the door panel. Once those are removed, just push your wires through, lift your door panel up and off, and then there is a speaker lead right back here. Press, there's a little tab, press on the tab, pull that apart, and the door panel's off. You can see I've pulled my water shield down, I've got some tape on the window to make sure it stays up. Now I'm going to loosen up two bolts, 10mm, one's right in there, and the other one is right there. Turn your key on, notice I've got my window hooked back up. Now I can move that down.

Remove this window stop right here, it's right above the speaker. Now you can let your window come down. If you've noticed, I've taken the tape off the window now. Bring your window down carefully, all the way. You can actually grab onto the front of it and slide it forward. Three bolts that hold this window regulator rail in, remove them. I'll speed this up as I remove those three bolts. You have to take these bolts out to get the window regulator rail out so you can move it forward and get to the nut on the door handle. Reach in, lift that regulator rail up, you can move the side a little bit. There are three bolts, one right there, you've got two right in through here. One right there. Pry off this cap, and there's one right in there. I'm going to fast forward again as I remove those three 10mm nuts that hold the door handle onto the door. Do your best not to drop them down in the door, but if you do drop them you can just pull your water shield back a little more, reach down in there and get them.

Now your handle's going to come out, and you can see right down here there's a little clip. Reach your finger in and flip the clip off, and then push that rod ... I'm going to reach in from this side. You can push it off easily enough, and just reach in from that side. Up here there's another clip, right there. Reach in, just using my thumb to pull it off. There's your handle out. Pry out this clip here. Once you've pried that out you can work your lock cylinder out. Here's my new handle from 1A Auto. This goes in this way, like I said, the clip's already in there, so you just put it in and press it. You put it in and press it in. I'm going to put the bolt on, and spin this around, and lock it on. Slip that in there, push it in. It's in, push our clip right down, and lock it on. You'll notice I took the chance, while it was off, to clean up around the door handle. I actually put a coat of wax on it too. What you saw me do there is I put the nut into the socket, then fed it in there and started it. I'm just going to fast forward as I start the other two, then I tighten them up with my ratchet. You want to tighten them up snug, but you don't want to over tighten them.

Test to make sure it closes and opens. You want to do that soft because you don't have your window rail in place yet. Fast forward here as I re-hang and then bolt that window regulator rail with the three bolts. Same thing, when you tighten this up you want to make sure that it's tight, nice and firm, but you don't want to over tighten the bolts. You want to take the window, lift it back up, right up, bring it through here. Carefully slide it up into place. Ensure that it's in the right spot. Now we can put this stop back in. We'll use the fast forward button again as we replace that window stop, or the guide, and put the 10mm bolt in and tighten it up. Again, nice and snug, don't over tighten. Turn the key back on, and first make sure that your window is all the way up, nice and tight into your weather strip, then run the regulator up. These go back up in place. Tighten up these two bolts. The key is still on, make sure you still have a working window. Put your water shield back up in place, and then disconnect your switch plate again. Don't forget to put that access plug back on.

Put your door panel back on, that through there. Right down here you can see the tab in the door, so it rests like that on those two tabs. Now you can reconnect your speaker, and put it back on that clip. Make sure the wires are through, and push the door panel on and down. A little fast forward again as I put those two 7mm bolts in that hold the door panel on. Reconnect these harnesses. I kind of surprise myself here as I connect it. Since I hit the door locks the truck must have thought that I was trying to steal it as I reconnected the switch plate, so it just took me a second to find the keys, turn the truck on, and stop the alarm from going off.

Hi I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle.

In this video we'll be doing a tailgate handle on a 2004 GMC Sierra. Same as any 99-06 Sierra Silverado. Only tools needed are a half inch wrench and an Exact-o knife if you have a Rhino liner in your truck. Also if you're going to order the tailgate handle we do recommend ordering the bezel as it's kind of difficult to get off without breaking it and actually we found on our truck it had already been broken. So it'll just save you a little time.

Okay, so to remove your tailgate handle the first thing you want to do it is remove this bezel. Basically there are two pins that go down and then it clips in. So you want to push down on top and then pull out, this is interesting. This truck has already been damaged and somebody used two sided tape to put it in there. See the close up, the tabs are broken off. It commonly happens. Two sided tape is okay for awhile, the problem is what happens is these trucks, the dirt just kind of swirls up and around here and sooner or later the two sided tape is going to let go and this thing's going to look like that.

Here on the tailgate you've got three bolts, you can see ones already loose because I was experimenting a bit. This truck's got a Rhino liner in it and a lot of trucks do now. If you don't obviously you can just take these bolts off but if you do have a Rhino Liner you want to use a knife and you just basically want to cut very carefully, so you don't cut your fingers off, cut each hex. I'm trying to do this quick. If you don't cut this off you won't be able to get your wrench on there. You could probably force your wrench on there but this is the best way not ruin your bolts. Just kind of back it in there and peel it off. You don't have to get it all off, it doesn't have to be perfect but you definitely need to get enough off so that you can get your wrench on there. Okay it's a half a inch, you push down and the bolt comes up and out. You want to remove these three bolts.

As I was taking these out I wasn't filming because you don't really need to see me tearing out but something funny, this has washers and the Rhino Liner has actually trapped the washers in there but that's okay. You can just remove it to that point and you'll still be able to remove your handle. You just back it out and you can hear my handle just dropped down there's. We're going to put our bolts on our 1A Auto magnetic tray.

Okay here's your handle and there's two rods right here held in by clips and basically you just need to move these clips down. Okay and the rod pulls out and then there's your tailgate handle. New handle, see it's all basically the same as the old handle. Okay what you want to do always, is lubricate. Any point where it might pivot, spray them with a bunch of stuff. Put it in here and it'll attach. This goes that way. Push them in. Push these rods into the clips. They don't want to go easily, there's it goes, it's kind of working in a little bit. You basically do it one side at time, just kind of grab the rod, push on the tailgate. Grab this rod, push on the tailgate and it'll open up.

Okay then down here and we'll take the handle and we can line it up by and I'll need my wrench here. These washers are kind of stuck in here. Get that bit with no problem. The last one here. As far as tightening, it doesn't have to be incredibly tight. Holding it with my fist, and that's good. So we have our new bezel here and here's the old one, you can see the little teeth that are broken off. Remove some of the two sided tape because it needs to bite under the metal and that will just get in the way. Basically this just goes in. Push down on it and there you go all set.

Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!

Going to replace this handle, tailgate handle, on this Chevy pickup truck. The bezel has already broken off on this vehicle. It's pretty common for them to break off. This is a brand new bezel from 1AAuto.com.

The way it fits in here if this truck had the bezel, these two little tabs on the bottom slide in these two little holes here. There’s push tabs up top here. And it would sit in like this. These tabs would lock underneath the sheet metal. If you were trying to remove it, carefully take a small screwdriver and push it in here on either side to release these tabs. Most likely if this bezel is old, it's just going to break on you if you're trying to replace this handle. You should probably have one of these on hand before you try to replace this handle.

Let's get into replacing this handle. After I sprayed some rust penetrant on these clips so that they'll move more freely, I'm going to push them down with my index finger. I'm not going to pull the rod out of this yet. It will just slide out, but I want to leave it in there, because I need the latch to work still. But it's easier to pop these off while this latch is attached to the sheet metal so it's not moving around on me. Now I can still open the latch and lower the tailgate.

There's two bolts here, and there's a third bolt that's hidden under this plastic bed liner, which is held in with these Phillip head screws that are all around it. I'm going to remove these, take off the plastic bed liner, and get to these three bolts that are back here. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove these. If you had a painted on bed liner, you may have to take a razor blade and cut around these bolts, but since this is a plastic one this plastic piece has to come off. These are the final two bolts.

I've removed all the screws that are holding this plastic on. These bolts are also holding the top of the latch. Start by taking these out. This is a 13mm socket. Lift this plastic up, put it in the bed of the truck so it's out of the way. And you'd see the final bolt. I'm also just going to hold onto the latch, because it's going to be pretty loose. Lift up the tailgate.

Since I've already freed these, I'm going to pull the rods out that go to the latches. This latch will slide right out of the opening, and you just have to maneuver it out. It's a little tight.

This is our old handle. This is our old handle from the vehicle, and here's our brand new one from 1AAuto.com. See, same exact design, same three bolt holes, same spring, same style black textured plastic. This will fit great and work great for you. This is a brand new bezel from 1AAuto.com. It goes around the tailgate handle like this, matches, same black texture.

If yours is broken off, this will replace it and make your truck look new again. Take our new handle, slide it up into place, align it up with the original bolt hole and go inside the bed. I'm going to capture this bolt here so that it doesn't move too much around on me. I'm not going to fully tighten it, I'll just leave it loose. I just want the handle in place.

Now I can push these little control rods up here that work the latches on either side, and get this one in to move that around a little bit. It's going to slide right back in there, pushed in. Then this goes up to lock it in place. Same thing on the other side. Adjust this over, can move this around a little bit, and do that. These are a little rusty. Push them in place, flip this around, and lock. Now I can open the tailgate again.

I can see the handle is lined up with the holes here. See it moving there? I'm going to hold it where I want it. I'm going to tighten this one, because once I put the plastic over it. I won't be able to get to it. Once it feels tight, I'm going to stop. We can lay out plastic bed liner back down, fits right into place. I'm going to replace these two bolts, tighten up the last bolts, real tight. I'm just going to stop, same thing with the other one.

And go and replace the rest of the Phillip head screws that are holding the plastic bed liner trim in. With the bed liner reinstalled, I can close the tailgate. Now would be a good time while you can get in here, to spray some lubricant on the hinge. That works really well. I'm just going to wipe up some of this oil that spilled. We can install our new bezel, and put the two tabs in these bottom openings here, and then snap it into these two top tabs, flip it up and over, just like that. You can open the handle a little bit. Whoops. A little tricky. New bezel is installed.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the rear outside door handle on this 2002 GMC Seirra Crew Cab, same as a Silverado as well as the same as the rear doors on Suburban. The only tools you'll need are flat blade screwdriver, a 7mm socket, a 10mm socket and then a ratchet and extension.

There are two 7mm screws that you have to remove or bolts: one right in there and then one down in the bottom corner, here. Then, as well, you need to pry out this trim panel, pry out your lock button and pry out your window switch and disconnect it. First put your fingers under it. Pull up that bezel. Take a regular screwdriver stick in the front there, pull out your lock button and on this switch, also pry up gently there. In front of it, there's a little tab. Use your screwdriver, push on it and pull the connector down and out. You can also pry out your light and reflector and disconnect it. Take your 7mm socket and ratchet and extension. We'll just speed up here as we remove those two 7mm bolts. Once everything is unbolted, then you just lift up on your panel and it comes off. Peel your water shield carefully, and pull it back some.

Now inside there's a rod that runs up to the door handle here and you can easily just use your thumb to push that clip off. Disconnect the rod and there's three bolts: one there, one there and then one that's a little bit more difficult, right up in there. For two of them, use a 10mm socket with a ratchet and extension. We'll just speed it up here as I take those two nuts off that are pretty easy to see. Then take my extension off and put my ratchet right up in. We'll speed it up here again as I take that nut off. Take that, and now, your handle pulls right out. You can see this is rusty. What happens is this breaks or sometimes this pin breaks.

Here's my original handle and a new handle from 1A Auto. You can see it's all the same. It doesn't hurt if you want before you put it in, to spray it with some penetrating oil or white lithium grease. You can see that this gets pretty corroded and gets sticky especially if you don't use the doors a lot and that's how the handle can break. The new handle just installs like the old one came out. Put it right in. Use your original nuts. We'll just speed it up here as I start those three 10mm nuts and then use my socket, ratchet and extension to tighten them up. You want to tighten them up firm; they don't have to be extremely tight, though. Reach up in there, connect the rod back into place. Put the clip back down.
Put your plastic water shield back into place. Put your door handle back on, make sure you bring this right up through here, bring your courtesy light through. The white plastic legs down there, get them resting in the door like that. Push the panel against the door. It should slide down nice and easy. Get this bolt next to the armrest. I just put that in backwards.
