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 an inside door handle on this 2003 Chevy Monte Carlo. We show you on the driver's side but the passenger's side is the same procedure. The items you'll need for this include a new interior door handle from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, a T25 Torx driver, a putty knife, a drill, and a 5/16 inch drill bit.
Your door panel is held on with four screws. There's a Phillips screw here and a Phillips screw up here. Then down here, onto the pole handle, there are two T25 Torx screws. We'll just fast forward as Mike removes those. Pry out, behind this panel, the flat blade screwdriver, and then slide the panel forward and over the door handle. Then pry out on both sides of your door lock switch while pulling up on it. It should pull free.
There's an indent right here that you want to slide your putty knife into, and then just pry out on the clip. Then reach back behind the door panel and feel for the clips, and just pull out sharply to release the clips. Once you've release them all the way around, just lift the door panel up and then pull it back. Push the tab on this harness and pull it free. Do the same thing for this harness. Your door panel is free. Push on the tab on this harness and disconnect it. Unclip the harness from the door and pull it aside. Carefully, without damaging the water shield, you want to just peel it back.
Now, holding on your door handle is a rivet, just drill it out with your 5/16 inch drill bit. We'll fast forward as Mike does this. Unclip your door handle rod and pull it up and out. Do the same thing with your lock rod. Then pry up on these two clips and pull the rods free. Now, pry out on the door handle and it'll fall free.
Take your new door handle and put the tabs through, and then line it up and, we use a bolt but you can also use a rivet, whatever you have that will fit, then just tighten up your new bolt or use a rivet gun and replace the rivet. Reconnect your lock rod and just re-clip it. Then do the same with your door handle rod. Now, re-clip them into this clip, and just push those tabs down to lock it. Then we'll just fast forward as Mike replaces the cover around the handle and the water shield. Reconnect this harness and re-clip it to the door.
To reconnect your door panel, just start off by reconnecting these two harnesses. Just put this switch through here, and then line up these slots with these four tabs. Just lift the door panel up, and push those slots onto the tabs. Then just make sure the clips are wind up, and hit them into place around the sides of the door panel. Push your door lock switch back into this panel. Slide the panel over your interior door handle and slide it back into place. Then just replace those four screws, and you're all set.
