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 remove and replace the door panel on this 2003 Chevy Blazer S10. The only tools you'll need is a flat blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver, and a 7mm socket and ratchet.
You want to start off by removing this Phillips screw right here as well as these two 7mm bolts down here. We'll just fast-forward as Don removes that Phillips screw and pulls out that door handle bezel, and then removes those two 7mm bolts. Pull up your switch panel and then use a flat blade screwdriver to pry back the little clip. You just pull the harness right out. You do the same thing for the bigger harness. Now you want to pull out on the door panel to release the clips behind it. You can look back in there and find where they are. You want to pull out near them so you don't break them. Once those clips have all been released the door panel will just lift up and off.
Now to reinstall your door panel you just want to run your harness back through it, push it down into the window sill, and then just push in those clips around the door. Reconnect your switch panel, and then you just want to push that down into place putting the back end in first and then push down the front. Now you can put your door handle bezel back into place. Now you want to just put your 7mm bolt into the socket and feed it up into the door pull handle. You're going to want to do this with both of them. We'll just fast-forward as Mike replaces those two bolts and that Phillips screw.
