My mechanic wanted to charge me $150 to do this. Watch your video twice replaced it within 20 minutes had to take it off again because I forgot to put the plastic cover on. but you saved me a lot of thank you
@@knockout7611i can see why all these fucking bullshit ass services cost so much. This shit telling me i have to take my whole fucking door off to put on a damn mirror. WTF
Thank you for making this video. I bought a 99 Tahoe in the same color for my business as an early 20’s starting out. This is super helpful for someone without much money
Thank you. I watched your video a few times to make sure that I understood the process. I bought the parts and had the video running on my tablet as I worked. A repair that would have run at least $200-300 at a shop cost me $40 and that included a run to the hardware store to get a properly sized rivet. The inside door handle that has been giving up problems for a few years now and broke off in my hand last week is now fixed.
Excelent video buddy, I have a truck line that one AND It really helped me to fixed It, now I need to chance the key hand door handle 😂 to complete the task
Thanks! My passanger door handle snapped off a few years ago and just the other day the driver side decided it had enough as well. This was very helpfull and went so smoothly, thank you for sharing!
Excellent video! Love the step by step instructions both verbally and writen out in your "more info" section. The size drill bit is 1/8" to drill out the rivet. Thank you. Keep up the great work it helps so many. God Bless You.
Excellent video - makes it look pretty easy to do! I'll be replacing both the drivers interior and exterior door handles along with the window control unit on my '99 Suburban. My drivers side window is currently stuck in the up position, so wondering if this can be done with the window in the up position?
Lisle makes a nifty trim pry tool. Like a bent really wide spade screwdriver that has a slot cut out of the middle of the blade (so you can slide it around a trim snap/fastener). has a red handle and a black rubber fulcrum that slides up and down the shaft. Ingenious tool, i have used it for all kinds of stuff beyond what it's meant for. But trim is a breeze with it.
Thank you. With new found confidence after watching videos I gave it a whirl. My door lock mechanism had come undone the two rivets were toast. The handle had no rivet as well and turned out the rod came off of handle and door lock was blocking my window from going down. No money needed, handle works as well as window including electric lock
Synchronicity! I’m glad I could help. This job is easier than it looks as long as nothing breaks when you take everything apart. If you were thinking about upgrading your door speakers, now is a good time.
We're back! Dude we just changed our handle and the one BIG (to us) problem we had was getting the electrical fittings to come apart. Could you maybe ponder a class on how to release different connectors for us old farts who don't know how? Thanks!
98’ Silverado. Having to do this same thing….video was clear and gave great step by step instructions. One thing I’ve noticed is parts are sometimes hard to come by. Where did you get your door lock assembly?
Don't think I'm going to open this can of worms today... My two passengers can roll down the window and let themselves out until spring... Especially the one that broke the handle!
There’s a link in the description to the door handle. The speakers are standard size replacement speakers that I bought from Crutchfield. I think I could’ve fit bigger ones in there.
Was that a Specific Rivet Gun you used? If so, what's the name of it, so that I may get one. Apparently, the one I bought from Home Depot doesn't fit the rivets I got for my for handle.
I did this and nothing went wrong until I put my spare handle in which broke immediately and in the exact same manner as the original handle. If I learned anything from this ordeal it’s that Delco makes shitty door handles
So annoyed with my door handle now. If I ask my boyfriend to fix it he's gonna break something else. Ugh. If I take it to the shop they're gonna charge an arm and a leg and my bf will say "I can do that for free"🙄 Planning on doing it myself just gotta buy the door handle
Thanks. My son had coronavirus, and he was running the camera. Somehow I didn’t catch it though. Our neighbors knew we were sick, so we had to keep the masks on when we were out in the driveway.
@@hoohoohoblin I was thinking the same thing. Earlier in the video he didn't have a mask then later he's masked up. Karen must have stopped by to remind him.
Anyone with doubts his video is 100% helpful did this on my 2door Tahoe and was fast and simple
Thanks
Helped me as well. On my second one now.
Thank you- about to work on my Tahoe as well. Can't wait to have a functioning door!!

150 is worth it

You're welcome!
Thanks man. Mine broke in the middle of winter, I have to open the window to get out haha
You’re welcome
Me too my other just did yesterday lol 🤣 I’m gone try it tho
Excelent video buddy, I have a truck line that one AND It really helped me to fixed It, now I need to chance the key hand door handle 😂 to complete the task
You do no have to remove the steel door panel. Drill out the rivet . Take the lock and door rods loose. Put it back together.. Done!!!
Ok but that presents a problem. Accessing the area behind where the door panel goes.
Instructions are good, the sound effects are amazing! 5 stars from me
Thanks

thank you for posting this video. these older vehicles are tricky to work on, very brittle parts.
You’re welcome
exactly what i was looking for thank you

Thanks for posting this video I just replaced mine on q 1997 chevy silverado 9/02/2024
You’re welcome
I love that your electrical component clips just pop out mine refuse to come out.
Had my mechanic replace the door handle a year ago, it’s metal, yet it broke again! So weird, because the original factory handle lasted 25 years!
Same experience. The new improved one lasted 6 months.
MADE IN CHINA 🇨🇳
Thanks I have my handle and have to install it. This helped. Loctite was a good tip
Glad it helped
This was helpful. Thanks!

Kinda weird that you uploaded this.. need to do this on my 95. I just got the new upgraded handle in the mail.

You’re welcome
Take care of one another, and God bless
Well done. Great tutorial on how to do it the right way. Im just curious though... why are you wearing a mask?
We made some of these videos when my son had Covid and I didn’t, so I didn’t want to catch it. He was running the camera.
Thanks Bud!
You’re welcome
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
Thank you
You’re welcome
Thanks for the tutorial.
You’re welcome
I dont have a bunch of loose bolts and nuts laying around to replacs the rivet. Would it be noticeably loose if I leave that empty?
I think it will slide forward and back a little bit so probably just get annoying definitely would just try to find a nut and bolt
Any links to find the yellow looking clips that usually break please??
I bought the yukon ones with the chrome handles. Way better features in yukons same fit too. Looking for yukon door panels now.
We're back! Dude we just changed our handle and the one BIG (to us) problem we had was getting the electrical fittings to come apart. Could you maybe ponder a class on how to release different connectors for us old farts who don't know how? Thanks!
That’s a good idea. They are all different, and most of them are pretty confusing.
98’ Silverado. Having to do this same thing….video was clear and gave great step by step instructions. One thing I’ve noticed is parts are sometimes hard to come by. Where did you get your door lock assembly?
I bought it on eBay. You can find almost anything on there.
Don't think I'm going to open this can of worms today... My two passengers can roll down the window and let themselves out until spring... Especially the one that broke the handle!
Great video
Where did you get the clips from?
Thanks for the help
You’re welcome
What size bolt can I use instead of the rivet?
Thanks!
Welcome!
thank you ,, saving me few hundred from a shop
You’re welcome
Much appreciated, thank you
You’re welcome
When replacing the new one does it make a difference if the lock is down or up..thanks in advance
It doesn't matter.
The rod that connects to the door lock slider can be moved by hand to either the locked or unlocked position.
Do you take them both completely out
What is the rivet size used to replace factory one?
Where can I get new plastic pegs and fasteners?
On eBay or at an auto parts store.
Great video, but can you provide the link to the handle and clips. Also what size door speaker is that? Thanks.
There’s a link in the description to the door handle. The speakers are standard size replacement speakers that I bought from Crutchfield. I think I could’ve fit bigger ones in there.
helps soo muchh
Awesome thanks
You’re welcome
Where did you get the door fasteners clips?
There is a link in the description.
Can you confirm the size of the rivet used?
Great video! Currently Unavailable...
Bolts do they come out completely
Was that a Specific Rivet Gun you used? If so, what's the name of it, so that I may get one.
Apparently, the one I bought from Home Depot doesn't fit the rivets I got for my for handle.
I just bought the generic one at AutoZone. For a big rivets, you have to buy an extra large sized rivet gun.
@@hoohoohoblin much appreciated, thank you.
Good video...but good luck getting those electrical wires out of the controller without pulling out the gray locks.
Where did you get your replacement parts from
There’s a link in the description.
Is there another way to get the rivet off without using a drill ? I currently don’t have a drill
I got mine off using a grinder for part of it, then a screwdriver and hammer for the rest
No link in description...but if you pause video you can get part no# off the bag?!
Thanks. I put the link in.
Those metal ones snap off the same mine had those when I bought it and after a few months of owning it it just snapped
Does it matter if your doors are roll up?
No.
Spray the clips with silicone spray to make them not rattle
Thanks. I put a little bit of grease on them.
Can’t get door to lock what did I miss ?
Doing these repairs are the biggest pain in the ass!
I agree. Looking at it, you would think you could just pop it out and pop it back in without removing every single thing.
@@hoohoohoblin Door panels should just screw in all the way around, same with dashes and consoles... Imagine how beautiful that world would be.
Almost worth paying someone to just take care of it 😂
But I’m poor so I must be resourceful 😭😂
@@katiewallace2355 Now till you try it yourself and cut yourself on the sheet metal and screw it up...then call someone!
And the rear doors?
I did this and nothing went wrong until I put my spare handle in which broke immediately and in the exact same manner as the original handle. If I learned anything from this ordeal it’s that Delco makes shitty door handles
Snapped my metal one that I bought to replace the broken plastic one
So annoyed with my door handle now. If I ask my boyfriend to fix it he's gonna break something else. Ugh. If I take it to the shop they're gonna charge an arm and a leg and my bf will say "I can do that for free"🙄 Planning on doing it myself just gotta buy the door handle
Why are you wearing a mask don’t want your door panels to catch covid lol JK good video
Thanks. My son had coronavirus, and he was running the camera. Somehow I didn’t catch it though. Our neighbors knew we were sick, so we had to keep the masks on when we were out in the driveway.
Can you take that mask off so I can hear you
@@wesleyhall8174 🤣🤣🤣🤣we all heard him
@@wesleyhall8174 yes we did. And I’m 72 and have hearing problems. Open your brain and your ears will follow
@@hoohoohoblin I was thinking the same thing. Earlier in the video he didn't have a mask then later he's masked up. Karen must have stopped by to remind him.
Gmc put that plastic around the handle,,I don't think that plastic will ovoid any water from getting wet,
Why the mask to do video outside...muffling the audio? Other than that good video.
My cameraman had Covid.
Great job. Very well done, minus the facial diaper. I didn’t know democrats worked on cars. Who knew?!🤷🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️
I just did that to get more comments!
Why do you have a mask on
That’s a good question. That was during the lockdown, and the cameraman had Covid. I probably would’ve been fine outside without a mask.

You go Waaaaaaay Too Fast and don’t clearly show the STUPID GM wiring connectors that soooo easily break
The mask ??
I did that to see how many comments I would get.
Why are you wearing that silly mask ?
Ha ha! I was trolling for comments, and my cameraman had Covid at the time.
Masks don’t do anything 😂😂😂 keeps out dust but nothing else! Fart and you’ll still smell it! Same thing with “covid” it’s a joke
OK, that's it. You're banned from utube for stating the obvious!
Your wife isn't coming back bro
