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 replace the rear door panel on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL. The items you'll need for this include a flat blade screwdriver, a 7mm socket and ratchet, and a putty knife.

Start off by prying up this little cover with a flat blade screw driver. Then remove those two 7mm bolts. Stick a putty knife behind the door panel and slide it down until you find the first clip and pry out and reach in behind the door panel and just pull out around each clip. Once you remove each of those clips, you can pull the door handle back. Then just push this switch from underneath. It comes up and out. Then push the tab on the harness and disconnect it. You could technically do this before removing the door panel, but you're more likely to scratch up your door panel if you do that.

To replace your door panel take the small panel and push it back onto these studs. Then, push the harness for that switch back up through the hole in the door panel. Line up the clips on the door panel, and once you have them all lined up, just hit them into place. Reconnect the switch and push it down into place, and then replace those two 7mm bolts and tighten them back up. Now just replace the small cover, and you're all set.
