Okay, to start this job, let's just compare it, make sure we're dealing with the correct part. This looks great. The next thing we're gonna wanna do is remove our tail lamp. To do that, use a Phillips head screwdriver and remove both those mounting bolts. Grab the lens. Carefully pull it away. Grab some penetrant. Go ahead and spray this down.
Let's use our 15-millimeter wrench right back here to hold this nut and our T40 Torx bit to take this off. There we go. Go ahead and grab that. Slide it in. Take your nut. We're gonna go ahead and put this together but we're gonna leave it nice and loose. The reason for that is because I want it to be able to move around. The next thing we're gonna wanna do is close the tailgate. When the latch comes up, it's gonna bring this to exactly where it lines up perfectly, and then we'll just go ahead and try to snug this at that point so we know exactly where it needs to go. Close this. All right. So, that's latched in. That seems like its exactly where it needs to be. And snug this. Go ahead and snug it up.
Put our tail lamp back in here. Lined up. Start and bolt the screws. After you've done that, go ahead and snug them right up. Okay, let's test it. Perfect.

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 the tailgate handle bezel on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. Sometimes these bezels just crack or break. It's a pretty simple replacement. The only tools that you're going to need for this is a Phillips screwdriver and a 13 millimeter socket and ratchet, as well as a flat-blade screwdriver.
Using a Phillips screwdriver you want to remove these ten Phillips head bolts that line this tailgate panel, and also you want to remove these two 13 millimeter bolts here. We'll just fast-forward as he removes all of these. Now, with all of those removed, you can remove that tailgate panel, and then you just want to remove this one 13 millimeter bolt right here.
Once that's removed, you want to put your tailgate up. Now you want to stick a flat-blade screwdriver behind the bezel and just pry it out. It should come right off.
To install your new one, you just want to put the handle up inside the bezel. You want to run the lock through the square on the handle, and then just push that bezel into place. On the other side of the tailgate, you want to replace that 13-millimeter bolt. Now you want to take your tailgate panel and put that back into place. We'll fast-forward as he replaces the 10 Phillips head bolts and the two 13 millimeter bolts.
