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 a tailgate handle on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. It's a similar process on most of the GM pickup trucks from 2008 to 2012 and the only tools you're going to need for this is a Phillips screwdriver and a 13mm socket and ratchet as well as a flat blade screwdriver.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, you want to remove these ten Phillips heads bolts that line this tailgate panel. Also you want to remove these two 13mm bolts here. We'll just fast-forward as he removes all of these. Now, with all those removed, you can remove that tailgate panel.
Then you just want to remove this one 13mm bolt right here. Once that's removed, you want to put your tailgate up. Now, using a flat blade screwdriver, just pry out this bezel right here. Now, you can see there's a clip right here on this rod. You just want to pull that off, pull the rod out, and you want to do the same thing on the other side. Once you've done that, you can pull the handle out.
You can see on the right is the old door handle and bezel; on the left is the new door handle and bezel from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical. They fit exactly the same. The only thing you have to do is remove the lock cylinder from your old one and put that into the new one. To do that, you just want to pry out this clip right here. Once you get that clip off, you can just pull that lock cylinder right out. You just want to push it into that new door handle bezel.
Now you want to take your new tailgate handle, put it back into place and you want to reconnect those rods. You want to push them into place and then push those clips down onto them. You want to take that bezel, put the door handle through it, you want to put the lock through the square part on the door handle, and then push the bezel into place. The other side of the tailgate, you want to replace that 13mm bolt.
Now you want to take your tailgate panel, put that back into place. and we'll fast-forward as he replaces the ten Phillips heads bolts and the two 13mm bolts.

THe part was easy to replace. It came quickly and was the right part.
I upgraded my handle to have a lock. Wasn't a perfect fit and quality is not as good as OEM. It is also a bit harder than the old one to lift up and disengage the tail gate--it feels like it is going to break. The lock works perfect. I'm not thrilled with it but it is functioning.
with the video = 1-2-3 DONE !
Works very well.
Perfect fit for my 2007 Sierra. Works as it should.
Easy to install, perfect fit, and it works great. Wish all my repairs went this well.
Perfect fit, easy install
The fitment is so bad.
It fit well.
Great service, knowledgeable people selling the right product the first time. Always satisfied! Thank you. JCC
Yes it came with the clips. But no bolts.
No this does not include hardware. You can use the OE hardware or purchase locally.
No, however since it was used in conjunction with a new to be installed backup camera, the bezel wasn't needed.
