Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part 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 1996 Chevy Tahoe. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is the same procedure. The only tools that you're going to need for this is a 7mm socket and ratchet, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Start off by removing this triangular panel. You just pull it out. Then, next you want to remove these two 7mm bolts. Then we'll just fast-forward as Don does this.
Next, pry up your switch panel and then just slide it back. Now, using your flat blade screwdriver, push the tabs on these harnesses and pull them free. For the speaker harness, you just push on the tab right here and pull it free.
Now, using the flat blade screwdriver, pry out this bezel, and it just pulls off. Now, you want to start prying out on the edges of the door panel. Just try to feel for were the clips are and pull them free. Now you can lift it up and out of the window sill. Then you just want to twist out your courtesy light socket.
Now, to replace the door panel, push your courtesy light back into place and just twist it in. Then put your door panel down into the window sill. Now just make sure each of those clips line up. Once you have them lined up, just push them into place. Now push that door handle bezel back into place, and this triangular panel. We'll just fast-forward as he replaces those two 7mm bolts. Now reconnect your speaker harness and your switch pack harnesses. Then you want to slide the front end in first, and then push down the back. You're all set.
