Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall the door panel in this 2015 Chevy Silverado LT. You’ll need a small screwdriver or pick, 7mm socket with a ratchet and extension. You may need a trim tool and a magnet.
Open up the door. Remove the trim panel behind your door handle. Right in the corner, there's a little indent. With a small screwdriver, pull there and there's a 7mm bolt there. Down inside your door, pull another panel with a small screwdriver or a pick and expose two more 7mm. Then grab this panel firmly or use a trim tool and pull out and down.
Down here, there's a screw to remove a 7mm way back in there and then there's two down below: here and here. We'll remove those six 77mm bolts. I'll start with this one. You need a longer extension with the 7mm socket to be able to get in there. At any time, it's a good idea to have a magnet around.
Now I'm going to pull out around the sides starting at the bottom first. Just pull firmly, and then make sure you pull out these upper tins, and pull gently from the front so that this will clear. At the back, same thing, pull this clear and then you pull up, slide the weather strip back some and off.
Then, in behind, you've got your door latch cable. You press down on this tab and pull it back then around and up and out. Then, this harness here, pull down. On this clip, push the black in here, and release. Pull that gray tab down and the harness out.
To remove this weather strip, you just pull either the front or the back right out. To get each clip off, just push down on the tab that's here, and rotate the clip down, and then work underneath on the side and pry the clip out. Again, down, and then from the side and off.
Then, rest your clips on to the door. Put your weather strip back in. There's an angled end that goes in the front. Push the front down on, and then you slide it forward into the channel. Then just push it down on the rest of the way. Reconnect your harness connection, and then put the gray button down. Make sure it's secure and flick that safety up. Then reconnect your door handle rod or cable. Pull it around and push it in. Make sure that lock rod is in place correctly. I think it just snaps back in once you put the panel in, so put your lock rod in.
Then there's a couple of guide pins that are larger here and one on the front side. This should go wind it up. Make sure the guide pins are in place and lock it into place. I'll put my six 7mm screws back in place. For this one, I'll load it into my socket and extension, and then just put it right in. This panel, this little indent goes at the bottom rear. Just pop that back into place. Then, on this one, the indent goes towards the front. Then just put this panel back in place—the top end first—and lock it in.
