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 rear outside door handles on this 2007 Denali. It's the same process for any 2007 to 2013 Yukon Denali, as well as the SLT, and Tahoe LTZ. It's also probably the same procedure or a similar procedure for rear doors on the Yukon XL, Suburban, as well as the four-door Sierra and Silverados with the LTZ Denali or SLT trims.

Items you'll need include handles from 1AAuto.com, small and regular flat blade screwdrivers, 10mm socket with ratchet and extension, and a door panel clip tool or putty knife.

Disconnect the battery. You want to open up the driver's door, pull the hood release lever, hit the safety hatch, move it to the right, and then lift the hood up, and the battery is near the rear of the engine compartment on the passenger side. There's a 10mm nut on top of the negative battery cable. Loosen that 10mm nut and pull the battery cable up and off, and then put it to the side so it won't contact the terminal again.

Open up either rear door. The procedure is the same for both. You need a small flat blade screwdriver, and you'll pry out that square clip, pry out this panel under here, and I am just using one hand, so it does drop to the ground, one hand holding the camera, one hand working the screwdriver. Then there is also a little panel underneath here that you pry out. Once you have that panel out, it'll expose a 10mm bolt there, and then there's another 10mm bolt to remove down here.

Use a small screwdriver and pull up on the walk knob and pry that clip out, and it comes up and off. I'll fast-forward here as I remove those two 10mm bolts. Use a plastic trim tool or a rag and a flat blade screwdriver, and pry up on the switch panel. You kind of pry up in the center and then you pull it up and it locks. The clips are on the front and the rear. Once you get the center up, you just kind of work it into the front, and then work it into the rear. It comes up and off and then the harness just has a tab on it. You press the tab and unplug it.
Use a rag to protect your paint and a door panel clip tool, or you could use a putty knife, but you work either the tool or the knife in underneath the clip. You'll basically feel that you slide it through and you can feel the plastic clips, and then you pull out and release the clips, and I usually do this for two or three of the clips on the back side. Then you can work your hand underneath and release the rest of the clips.

Once the clips are released, you pull the panel up and off of the window ledge clip. If your door panel has never been off before, the water shield, the white water shield you can see is a black clip holding it to the door panel. There's probably three or four of these little black clips. You can see how you try to use the clip tool or a screwdriver to pry the clip out. Eventually, I just end up grabbing ahold of the clip and the water shield at the same time and pull them out. Again, you'll have to do this probably three or four times if your door panel has never been off before.

We'll need to undo the door handle cable clip. There's two little clips that hold the cable in. I'm just prying with a small screwdriver to release those clips. Here's a better shot of them as they come out. You pull it out and up out of the handle, and then the door panel comes right off. I do find one more of the clips that clip the water shield to the door panel and release it. Carefully pull the water shield back and release the adhesive and expose the inside of the back part of the door. You want to unclip the door lock rod, see the yellow clip right there, reach up with your hand, try and get a good shot here, and you just pull on the outside edge of that clip and release it and pull the rod out.

You want to remove this round rubber grommet. You push from the back side and pull it off, and then there is a bolt up in there as well as another bolt that holds the door panel. 10mm socket, ratchet, and extension, and go right in through and undo those two bolts. Now the handles slide forward and out. You'll want to remove the latch rod from the old handle. Just kind of twist it and pull it up and out. Then install it in to your new handle. Install the new handle, just pull on the protector plastic back, put the rod down in, and then might need to pull the handle out a little bit as far as just the handle part out, but you can slide it up in there, and then you push it on to the door and slide it back to lock it in place.

Reach up and start the bolts in to the back of the handle. You can see it's easy enough to get your hands up in there, and you can even get them up into the back side, too. Start the bolt in and then tighten them up. Tighten them up nice and firm, don't overtighten them. You don't want to strip the thread. Reach in, put that latch rod back in place, and then lock the clip in place. Be sure your door is unlocked. You can test it out.
Install that rubber grommet and press the shield back up in place. To reinstall the door panel, get it close, put the ball of the cable into the door handle, then pull the cable around and clip it in. Move the panel close to the door, make sure that the harness comes up through, and then make sure that the door lock goes up through the hole there, and then you kind of lift the panel up and push the top on and set it down into that window ledge clip, and then you can kind of look in behind, make sure that the clips line up. Once you have everything lined up, then you can reset the clips.

Make sure that you pull the lock knob up and then put the lock trim on there. Set that, make sure you leave it unlocked, and then reinstall the two 10mm bolts that hold the panel in place. I'll fast forward as I do that. When you tighten these, tighten them up firm, you don't want to tighten them, though, and make sure you have the harness pulled up through, put the two trim pieces in place. The upper one, you want to put the rear end first and then snap the front end. It snaps in at the front first on me, so I have to pull it back out, and then put it in correctly. Again, the back towards the back goes in first, and then front snaps in, and then reconnect the harness and snap the switch panel down in place, and then do a little test.

Then reconnect your battery, and then you should be all good to go. Put the negative battery cable back on the post and 10mm socket, ratchet, and extension, then tighten it up.

In this video, we're going to show you how to replace an exterior door handle on this 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500. It's a similar process on a large variety of GM SUVs and pickup trucks from 2007 to 2012. The tools that you'll need for this is a flat blade screwdriver, a 10mm socket and ratchet with an extension, and a pair of needle nose pliers.

Using a flat blade screwdriver, you want to remove these three panels. The one behind the door handle, this door pull handle panel, and that triangular panel at the top there. Once those are removed, you'll see there are three 10mm bolts here. We'll fast-forward as he removes those. You want to remove this little panel under this handle right here. Pry that out with your flat blade.

Now you want to remove these two 10mm bolts right here. You want to pry up that switch panel and disconnect these harnesses. Just push in the tab on the top and pull back on them. For this lead there's a tab on the back of it. You want to pry out that tab and then the clip will actually pull up and out. Now pull your lock up and there's a little panel right here, just a little clip. You want to pry that out with the flat blade screwdriver. Once you pry that out you can lift that right up and off.

Now you can start prying off the door panel. Reach behind it and give it a sharp pull to release those clips. You want to do this all the way around the panel. Once you do that you can lift it off and then you want to tilt it. Now if you go in behind the door panel here, you'll see this door handle cable door here. Using needle nose pliers, push the clip inward and you can pull that up and out. Carefully remove your water shield. We did speed the video up. You want to remove it nice and slow. Do your best not to rip or tear it.

Now you want to remove this 10mm bolt right here, and you want to release this yellow clip. And then up, further up in the door, there's this little red tab here. You want to push the rod away from it towards the outside of the door. To open that clip, you literally just pop it open. This one, like I said, push it straight back. We'll fast-forward as he removes that bolt. Now remove this cap and that 10mm bolt in there. Pull the handle out. and then push it forward a little bit. and then it's kind of a little bit moving it back and forth, up and down a little bit to get it to release out from the door.

As you can see, there's nothing wrong with our old door handle, so we're just going to show you how to do this. You would remove that rod and then install it in your new door handle, and then remove this clip. This clip holds the lock cylinder in. Use a flat blade screwdriver and pry it out. You could also use a pair of pliers. Pull it out, and then there are two ways to put it back together. You see the lock cylinder comes out. Put the lock cylinder into your new handle.

You could either do it this way, then put the clip in, or you could actually put the clip in first and then snap the lock into the door handle with the clip in it already. To reinstall the door handle, you want to put that rod back down through the door. Slide it back and push it into place. We'll fast-forward as he replaces and tightens up those 10mm bolts. You want to re-clip those rods back into place and replace that rubber cap.

You can put your water shield back. Make sure that the wire harnesses and the door cable are pulled through. You want to make sure that these door panel clips line up in those holes, and that these hooks line up in these slots. Now you want to take that door handle cable, put it back into its clip. Pull back on it and feed it into that little spot there and run all your harnesses up through where the door switch panel is.

You want to make sure that this lock tab goes up through the door panel. You want to align the door panel up on the window sill. Then once it's lined up, you can push in the clips all the way around. Take your lock, slide it back onto the tab there, and reapply that little square clip. We'll fast-forward as he replaces the two 10mm bolts under this handle here, as well as the 10mm bolt behind the door handle. Now reconnect the harnesses to the door switch panel and push it down into place. We'll continue to fast-forward as he replaces that pull handle and the two 10mm bolts to secure it. Now you want to replace those four trim panels.
