In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and put back on a driver's front door panel on this 2004 Trailblazer. The only tools you'll need are a 10 millimeter socket with a ratchet and an extension and a small and medium flat blade screwdriver. Start with a regular screwdriver. Put it up under, quick little pry. Same thing here. Pry that up. You can see it just has kind of 2 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 the up. Okay, skip that one. This one pulls out fairly easy.

Now use your screwdriver, just pry that up a little bit and lift that up. Then over here, screwdriver on this tab, pry it up a little bit, lift it right out. It just comes out. Okay, now around your door handle here, you're going to see some little tabs, or little slots. You can insert a small screwdriver, push down with your screwdriver and then pull out with your hand. Work your hand underneath. Another tab right back here, push down, pull out. Then there's a couple up top. Those ones you push up. Okay, 1 more right here. This whole things comes out and if you have the memory seat and everything you can now just pull this whole harness right up and out. Now there are 2 10 millimeter bolts, one there and then one way down in there. 10 millimeter socket with an extension and ratchet. This one's really easy to get to. Pull it up and out. This one ... I'm going to start it ... unscrew 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 and then just kind of work your hand under the door panel and it will get harder and harder to slide under and you just pull. Keep working your hand under and pull. Work your hand under and pull ... Actually here's my bolt from that arm rest ... Work our hand under, pull out. Okay, and your door panel comes off. Okay, now it's time to put the door panel back on. You just want to take all the harnesses, work them up through the bottom here. You can actually just clip this top clip right in. Look down through and you can see the pin, line them up, push them in. Take this, put it down through. If you have the memory option, hook it back up. Now reinstall your 2 10 millimeter bolts and we'll use a little fast-forward here. Now you're going to want to re-plug in your master switch and all the harnesses, the connectors will not go ... unless you try really hard, you really can't connect this incorrectly. They're all specially designed to only plug in a certain place.
