Hi, I’m Mike from 1A Auto. We’ve been selling auto parts for over 30 years!
Traverse's handle. The plastic is actually separated. There's a seam here. Use these plastic prying tools. You get these from 1AAuto.com. Start on one side. Get started, get towards the middle here, and pry down on it. Give it a good, sharp pull. Pull it right out.
There are two seven-millimeter screws on either side that needs to be removed. Use a seven-millimeter socket and a driver handle and remove them. You want to hold onto this handle so that it doesn't fall. Here we go.
Push the handle up into place and carefully guide this long self-tapping screw up there. Get it started. Tighten it up. The same for the other one. Push this trim back in place. Start it over here. Line up those three openings there. Just push it right up.
