In this video we're going to show you how to remove the third door handle, the door handle for each of the rear doors, I guess we would call it, on this 2004 GMC Sierra Extended Cab: a pretty easy operation. You just need a T27 Torx bit with a ratchet. You take the third door handle, a pretty easy replacement, it's just two T27 Torx bolts and what you want is a T27 bit with a ratchet, like that. Just remove these two bolts.
It's funny, the owner of this truck said to me, "Why would you want to do a video for that? I never use it." That kind of rang to precisely the point of it. These either break because they get used a lot or what will happen is they'll never get used and the mechanisms inside will get gunked up or frozen up and somebody will go to use it and break it.
I'll show you a little later how to lubricate the mechanisms too, so you don't have that happen. OK, we'll fast forward here just a little bit. OK, so the handle just comes right out. Here's our new handle from 1A Auto. You see it's all the same; it will go in the same.
Now before you put it back in, though, what you want to do is, this is the latch mechanism, you just see you just push it into there, what you want to do is spray some lubricant right down in here. I spray some stuff right down in there and then we'll open it up. Open it up and up here, you'll want to spray and then down below at the bottom and there's another latch. This is the latch that will really get gunked up and frozen.
Now take our new handle and you can see this plate kind of shifts back and forth and it has the bolt holes in it. Put your bolt through and you kind of want to force the screw in and pry it to the side a little bit to get it started into that plate. OK, and we'll just speed it up here as I finish installing those two T27 Torx screws.
We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

This is the second time that I have replaced these door handles. The first ones that I purchased, were half the price, and broke after two years. The handles from A1 Auto, that I recently purchased are twice the weight, and have higher quality construction. It was well worth spending the extra money to get higher quality replacement handles from A1 Auto.

My OEM (plastic) snapped off in the -15 weather recently and was just going to order OEMs found these steel replacements for not a lot more. The mechanical operation is by far better than the OEM with crisp action. Should have swapped these out years ago
Perfect!

Extended cab doors work much better when the handles are not old and broken .. of course I would have preferred they were made of metal but the fitment and function of the new ones is very satisfactory

The door handles were of the same quality as the GM bought handles if not better, they fit perfectly, I would recommend them as replacement parts.

Son snapped stock handle swinging down when getting out of the truck. Fortunately Mike did such a good job explaining the repair, he was able to fix it and replace the passenger side himself!
Definitely a higher quality part than factory for a great price.
Better than expected!

The quality of the door handles was great. There were several postings about the quality of the door handles on eBay about breaking within days of installation.
A1 advertised that there's had metal in them. You can feel the difference in weight.
They are worth the extra cost and not have to replace them again.
Great replacement

My truck is 15 years old and in need of quite a few replacement parts. Like most everyone else, I was dubious about replacing my old parts with non oem components. I have to say that everything I have bought from 1A Auto has been better than factory parts. My old door handles for example, always felt a little flimsy. My new ones are reinforced and the feel is quite noticeable. The Utube videos make replacing parts simple.

I had OEM (all plastic) rear door handles on my 2001 Silverado for 20 years, but one of them finally failed a month ago. I was worried that a non-OEM part would not be as strong, but I was mistaken. I was very happy when I found these door handles with metal handles. I have only had them for about a month, but I believe these are a superior replacement part. Thank you 1A Auto.
Perfect fit!!!

Seems like it is well worth the extra few bucks for a better product. Especially after watching your replacement video for these door handles. Properly lubricating areas involving the use of this product. Made alot of sense to me that this could play into the factor that the cheaper, plastic handles break so often. I'm sure I could have got plastic instead of metal re-enforced ones, If I had lubricated the areas you guys mentioned. The metal handle just feels more reliable and stronger. After lubrication and installing new handles, feels like new, all over again................
Well made and perfect fit.

I am very happy with these handles and with 1A Auto. I think they are better than original equipment. And they arrived sooner than expected.

Julian

Perfect fit for my 2003 Chevy Silverado. I purchase this part due to the reviews it got. It could be bought a little cheaper elsewhere, but I purchase from A1 Auto because I have purchase from them in the past and their parts are reliable. This part is solid much better than the OEM part.
Improvement over oem
Philip
December 13, 2021
This seems like it'll hold up much better than the oem cheap plastic handles. I think the handle and lever on the back that keeps breaking off is made of cast aluminum, definitely one piece and seems quite solid. Only time and cold winters will tell now.
Good quality
Abel
January 19, 2022
Good quality build. Way more solid than the oem ones that broke. When you remove the handle take some time to spray down or lubricants the mechanical lever inside.

Perfect fit, easy installation... (factory designer probably got fired for this!!!) ...prompt shipping.
Construction quality appears to as good as or better than original. Remove 2 screws and latch, replace 2 screws and new latch.
Needs a #27 Torx head driver for the screws
Lube latch mechanism while handle is off....a couple squirts of WD40 or equivalent. Also do top and bottom latches.

These handles are not metal, but some type of fiber reinforced plastic. They are fine unless someone jerks on them with extreme force far beyond what is needed to open the door.

December 22, 2020

Despite people saying this is a heavy duty plastic of some sort, I'm almost positive it's a metal handle and lever painted black. My guess is it's cast aluminum, it's definitely not a ferrous metal. Didn't feel like completely scratching it up to fully verify.

What does the little extra piece do that sits between the handle and lower screw? It moves along with the handle, but I can't figure out its purpose! Thanks!August 2, 2018

That piece attaches to the rod or cable in the door that operates the latch.

These handles are made as exact replicas as your originals. It shouldn't affect the half door.
