Thank you! The flex drill extension is the way to go. I followed all your tips and they worked great. I had my daughter help, a lot easier for small hands/arms to reach in there!

You are the man! Your how to, shows in every detail what to do and gives pause for additional tools or suggestions. Love it. The meal/lunch with the Fam was the topper. Thank you kind sir.
THANK YOU! You are the first video to use a flex extension. I had given up because I couldn't get a good grip to get the bolts out on that same side. I have renewed hope. I ordered a flex extension and will try again. May you be blessed.
Thank you very much!! We have long winters and the door was stuck on cold! I just finished fixing it thanks to your video, it was easy, and worked like a charm!!!😊
Great job. Had my 2016 camry at the dealership and they asked 120$ an hour to take the whole dashboard and plastics apart, it was 12 hour of job, so price asked was 12×120 :)) . of course I refused and tried to find someone like you. Great video,great knowledge of the job and I'm subscribed to the channel 👍👍👍
You are an amazing mechanic. I enjoy watching all your videos your family is fun to watch too! I have 01' ml320 & fixed my own window regulators watching you & friend fix his car, thank you & God bless you. Susan G
I really enjoy you videos. You work hard and get the job done. You are a lucky man to have such a nice family. Keep the videos coming, but first pay your bills :-)
I need to replace all 3! The one on the actual vent door, seemed to be the hardest until I look at your Video! I did exactly what you did and got it off and on in minutes! None on to the drivers side and I'll be done! Man these things are a PAIN! Lol. Thanks again for a GREAT VIDEO!
Good job on the repair, you need to recalibrate all the vent motors after one of the motors is replaced. Disconnect the positive battery cable and pull the fuse for the hva control module for one minute to make the module recalibrate the motors so they will last longer. Keep up the good work.
I've never even thought of trying to diy anything to do with my car. But the sound was driving me crazy and I didn't have 500 to fix it. Thank you for this video and also to the women who commented. I did it!
Glad I watched this. I would not have thought about using a flexible extension without your video. Ordered one and it made this job a little easier. Still a pain but not as bad as it would have been. Thanks Angel. Suscribed.
I think you were overthinking this one, Angel. When I did mine, I unbolted the glove box door. I didn't remove the bottom panel. Your biggest fight will be that thick cable of wires right in the way of the actuator. And, no, you don't need power tools for this one. The actuator is plastic, so it's not torqued down too tight. Use a drive ratchet adapter (Google it), attach a 5.5 mm socket and reach in there. Yes, it takes a little hand strength and smaller hands help, but not all of us have hundred dollar tools available to us. I had to start doing my own work, since GM dealership service department in town went into the toilet. I had them do two of them and the bill was over $500. $40 and one afternoon later, I was good to go. (And for the really cheap among us, sometimes, if the actuator is not making noise, meaning broken teeth, remove it, open it, clean the contacts and see if it works again.) Your video help tremendously. Thank you.
Great job man thanks so much you were the only one I could find that did the far right actuator. Let me tell you I am a hell of a lot bigger than you getting in there to get a socket on it took some bone breaking contortions.
I love you. If you could do a video (if you ever work on this problem) on replacing all the parking brake cables on this vehicle. Anyways, keep doing good work!
Sure wish u were in Indiana , my 2006 Impala does this at any time, all hours of day and prob at night too... no key in ignition, nothing ...iy just starts up randomly ...
What's the difference between an air door actuator and blend door actuator for the Chevy impala? Or are they the same? They certainly look the same to me.
I work for a company with a fleet of 2006 to 2013 Impalas. I change a least one a week. Both actuators use the same part number. I don't recommend the Dorman brand part, your asking for a come back in a few months. Purchase a AC Delco part. I use a Lisle 5.5 mm Ford ignition module wrench to remove the two screws. The bottom cover and glove box do not have to be removed. The hardest part is clocking the new actuator to go over the shaft.
Angel they sell those gears in various sizes we used to have them in stock at my old job we used them to fix voucher printers you can find them on eBay in assortments just type in plastic gears always good to have you can replace those gears for pennies on the dollar my friend
I had to fix a blend door acuator on a 2001 Ford Explorer and hers was behind the glove box to. What a pain in the ass it was. Dude I need that flexible extension for the ratchet
I’ve replaced actuator with two new ones. It’s still clicking. 2008 impala. It the one in the glove compartment the hard one to get out the one your working on in this video. The only thing I see different is the blend door isn’t moving it’s up. I can’t turn that knob you’re turning. Any suggestions! Help!
Your knowledge of repairing cars and sharing it on you tube is reward enough.
Love the lunch break. God bless you and your family my brother.
3:58 bless you... great man, great father, great mechanic, great videos, great family... u r blessed my friend, greetings from Perú 😆😆😆
thank you my brother. bless you and the family. i really appreciate you watching my videos.

Your hand is like flexhead wrench. Nice video.
Thank you! I replaced the actuator on my 2007 Colorado. The noise was driving my wife crazy. Only 16 bucks from Amazon. God bless
Great job.

I have fix this issue 4 times to the point i got tired fixing it because is not cool being underneath all twisted and getting cramps
@65 Falcon Dude I just got to ask, I mean no offense Why did the original Chevy part go bad if it is so good?

Lol I like how you recorded the lunch break
