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 exterior door handle on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL. It's the same part and similar process on the regular Envoys from 2002 to 2009. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is a similar procedure. The items you'll need for this include a new exterior door handle from 1AAuto.com, 10mm socket and ratchet with an extension, flat blade screwdriver, and a putty knife.
Pry up the back of your switch panel with a flat blade screwdriver; pry up the front and then pull the switch panel up and out. Just push the tab on these two harnesses on this end and disconnect them. Use a flat blade screwdriver and pry up the tab on the remaining harnesses. Next, remove this 10mm bolt in here and this 10mm bolt right there. We'll fast-forward as Mike does this. Using a putty knife, just push this back in behind the door panel and slide it down until you find a clip. Then just pry out so you can reach your fingers back there, and just pry out around the edge. Then just pry out on this small part of the panel up here, and then lift your door panel up and out of the windowsill.
Peel back your water shield. Then reach in back here, and there's this gray clip. Just pull it forward and pull the rod free. Then up here, there's a blue clip, and you just want to push this off that rod and pull that rod free. Then remove that 10mm nut up behind that rod, and that rod will just push out of the way. Then there's another 10mm nut on the other side of the door handle and you have to use either a 10mm wrench or a short 10mm socket. If you drop down the nut, a lot of the time it'll land it won't go all the way to the bottom of the door it'll land on this brace here. Your handle will then just carefully rotate it down and out, and then up and out, and you can see the original door handle.
Obviously ours is already painted, and it's not broken, so we're going to install the original, but the one from 1A Auto will be a good functional replacement in black. If it doesn't matter to you, or if you wanted to paint it to match, you can go to an automotive parts store that has a paint department, they'll be able to use your VIN and figure out the right color.
You want to take this clip, push it off, and take off the rod. Then use a screwdriver. You can pry it all the way off if you want and your lock will come right out. Now the lock, the arm faces forward, push it right in and then take your rod, push it in, and flip the clip around and on. Your replacement handle, put that in, and make sure that rod goes in and it doesn't get caught on anything. Then you have to bring your handle up and get the studs to go in the lock mechanism. Replace those two 10mm nuts and tighten them up. Push that rod back into the blue clip and then re-clip it. Do the same thing with this gray clip. Just push the rod back into place and then close the clip.
Push your water shield back into place. To replace your door panel, push the harnesses back through this hole. Then lift the door panel up and into the windowsill. Once you have it lined up, push it down into place, and then make sure the clips are lined up. Then just hit them back in around the sides of the door panel. For these bolts, what you want to do is be able to hold them into the socket, so a little bit of glue or any kind of piece of cloth. I just use a little electrical tape, put it on the bolt head and stick it in the socket. That way your screw will stay in there. Then you can just put it right in and start it. We'll just fast-forward as Mike replaces and tightens up those two bolts. Reconnect the harnesses to your switch pack. Then line up your switch panel and push it back down into place.

Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing or maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20-plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly: that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and put back on the outside door handle on this 2004 Trailblazer. Tools you'll need are a medium and small flat blade screwdriver as well as a 10 millimeter socket with ratchet and extension.
Start with a regular screwdriver. Put it up under, and give a quick little pry. Do the same thing here. Pry that up. It has two clips, front and back. Then you want to turn it over here, and you want to unplug all these harnesses. Basically you just have little thumb tabs. Pull them up. Skip that one. This one pulls out fairly easy. Use your screw driver. Just pry that up a little bit. With that off, then over here, put the screw driver on this tab, pry it up a little bit. It pops right out. This comes out. Now, around your door handle, here, you're going to see some little tab, little slots. You're going to inset a small screwdriver, push down with your screw driver, and then pull out with your hand, work your hand underneath. There's another tab right back here. Push down. Pull out. Then there's a couple up top. Those ones you push up. There's one more right here. This whole thing comes out. If you have the memory seat and everything, you can now pull this whole harness right up out. There are two 10mm bolts, one there and then one way down in there. Use a10 mm socket with a extension and ratchet. This one's really easy to get to. Pull it up and out. For this one, I'm going to start it as much as I can. I just felt it fall which is okay. Once you have those out, then you can start up here with your hand. Just work it underneath this triangle. Pull out. Then just work your hand under the door panel. It will get harder and harder to slide under. Just pull. Keep working your hand under. Pull. Work your hand under. Pull. Actually, here's my bolt from that armrest. Continue to work your hand under. Pull out, and your door panel comes off. You're going to pull back your water shield. I'm going to pull back carefully. You don't want to rip it.
To remove the door handle, you're going to have to take off two 10mm nuts. You can see one right in through that hole. Then the other one is . I have to get up through here, and you can see it right there. Then before you take those off, you see right down there, there's a little clip and a rod that goes into the lock. So, you just use your finger, push that clip off, and pull that rod out. Then, back here, you see that little yellow clip there. For that little yellow clip, just reach in with your finger, you can pull that side off, and you pull this rod out. Use a 10mm socket with a extension and a ratchet. Go right in. Get to that first nut. Reach up through here and make sure that nut comes out in my socket. Then I'll take the extension off and reach up behind here. We'll fast forward as I unscrew that one. Pull out on the handle. Pull it out and down. This whole rod comes with it.
Obviously this handle's in fine shape, so I'm just going to show you how to switch it over. You would obviously want to switch this rod over. Push that clip down. Take the rod out. You'd also want to switch your lock over by just pulling up on this clip here. Then your lock comes out. You put it into your new door handle the same way. Actually, on the new door handle, put the clip in. On the new door handle, you can actually start with the clip in. Just push the lock right in. Obviously, put the rod back on.
When you go to put this in here, you want this rod on the other side of the lock rod. Put it down in. Put the handle in. I'm going to take my first 10mm nut, and I'm going to reach up in and start it. For this rear bolt, you can either reach up in there or just put your nut into a socket with your extension. Use the nut to feel your way in there. Start it on there. Use a little fast forward as I tighten up those two 10mm nuts and when you tighten them, you want them nice and firm. They don't have to be extremely tight, though. Reconnect your lock rod. We want to take the rod and pull it over. Get it into place. You push up on the rod a little bit, and then latch that.
Get our water shield back up in place. One thing you want to make sure is that this pole right here is nice and clear. I'm going to fast forward here through putting the door panel back on just in the interest of keeping the video a little bit on the short side. Once you get it off, it's pretty easy to get back on. If you do want to see this in real speed or regular speed just check out our other videos for the Trailblazer front door panel removal and replacement.
