How To Replace Rear Interior Door Handle 2000-06 Chevy Tahoe

Take this lock cover right here. Just use a screwdriver. I got a straight blade screwdriver. Slide that off. Take this cover off right here. Just use a trim tool. Get underneath here, take that off. And there's a screw in here, use a 7-millimeter socket, take that one out. And just use a magnet, take that one out. There's another screw underneath here, use the same 7-millimeter socket. And then just grab the door handle and slide it up. Doesn't pull out, just make sure it slides up. And there's a connector right here. Take a pocket screwdriver. There's a little tab on the connector. You have to push in on the tab and slide it out just right there. Disconnect that, set it aside. Use a 10-millimeter socket, take this bolt out. Disconnect this rod right here. Just slide this tab over. This retainer, slide it over. And we should be able to slide the rod out. Then the handle slides forward, slides out.

All right. There's these three tabs that need to go in those slots. Make sure you get those positioned first. Push it in and slide it. And before you slide it all the way, you can just get the rod lined up. That's good. And you can lock the rod down. Get the bolt started. And tighten the bolt up. And just snug it. That's good. All right. Now, take the door panel. You can connect the electrical connector for the window switch. Just line that up and lock it in place. Now, slide the door panel over the handle first. Just push, make sure it's flat and then you slide it down. That looks good. Just go all around. It looks good. Now, take these two screws and one goes right here. Get that lined up. And then there's another one, it goes down here. Line that up. All right. Take this cover. Now, you want the red part towards the back or towards the outside of the door. And this little clip is gonna go in just like that. Just make sure it works. And then you take this cover, go over the handle and then slide the front part in first and then slide this bottom part and then the top.
