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 replace a door check on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL. It's the same part and similar process on the regular Envoys from 2002 to 2009. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is a similar procedure. The items that you're going to need for this include a new door check from 1AAuto.com, 7mm and 10mm socket and ratchet, flat blade screwdriver, and a putty knife.
Pry up the back of your switch panel with a flat blade screwdriver and then pry up the front. Then pull the switch panel up and out. Just push the tab on these two harnesses on this end and disconnect them. Then use a flat blade screwdriver and pry up the tab on the remaining harnesses. Next, remove this 10mm bolt in here and this 10mm bolt right there. We'll fast-forward as Mike does this. Using a putty knife, just push this back in behind the door panel and slide it down until you find a clip. Then just pry out, and then you can reach your fingers back there, and then just pry out around the edge. Then just pry out on this small part of the panel up here and then lift your door panel up and out of the window sill and it's free.
Now you'll have to remove the speaker. Just remove these three 7mm bolts and just push the tab on this harness and disconnect it. There are two clips on the back of the speaker. Pry out right here and then down here. Remove these two 10mm bolts, pull back on this rubber grommet, and remove these two 10mm nuts. We'll fast-forward as Mike does this. Once it's removed, just be careful because the door we'll swing free. Now angle it up and feed it down through the door. You will have to maneuver it around a couple harnesses. Once you get it free of everything it will pull down and out.
On the left is the old door check; on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same.
You want to feed it from the bottom, and then get this part through the door. There's a harness here, so just want to make sure it goes up in there okay. If you get to this point and it feels like it's caught, just reach way up in there, and then there's another harness that can get caught up on it. Then it should pretty easily line up. Replace those two 10mm nuts and tighten them up. Then slide that rubber grommet back into place and push it in. Then just close your door until these line up, and then replace those two 10mm bolts, and tighten those up. Once you thread those bolts in securely by hand, you can push the door out a little more so you have room.
Now you can open your door panel back up. Line up your speaker and push it back into place, Then replace those three 7mm screws and tighten them up. Reconnect your speaker harness. To replace your door panel, push the harnesses back through this hole, and then lift the door panel up and into the window sill. Once you have it lined up push it down into place and then make sure the clips are lined up. Then just hit them back in around the sides of the door panel. For these bolts, what you want to do is be able to hold them into the socket. A little bit of glue or any kind of a piece of cloth I just have a little electrical tape put it on the bolt head and stick it in the socket. That way your screw will stay in there. Then you can just put it right in and start it. We'll just fast-forward as Mike replaces and tightens up those two bolts. Reconnect the harnesses to your switch pack. Then line up your switch panel and push it back down into place.
