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 a front door panel on this 2003 GMC Envoy. We show you on the driver side, but the passenger side is a similar procedure. The items you'll need for this is a flat blade screwdriver, a 10mm socket and ratchet, and a putty knife.

Pry up the back of your switch panel with a flat blade screwdriver and then pry up the front. Then pull the switch panel up and out, push the tab on these two harnesses on this end, and disconnect them. Then use a flat blade screwdriver, and pry up the tab on the remaining harnesses.

Next, remove this 10mm bolt in here and this 10mm bolt right there. We'll fast-forward as Mike does this. Using a putty knife, just push this back in behind the door panel and slide it down until you find a clip. Then just pry out. Then you can reach your fingers back there and just pry out around the edge. Then just pry out on this small part of the panel up here and lift your door panel up and out of the window sill. Then it's free.

To replace your door panel, push the harnesses back through this hole. Then lift the door panel up and into the window sill. Once you have it lined up, push it down into place. Then make sure the clips are lined up, and then just hit them back in around the sides of the door panel. For these bolts, what you want to do is be able to hold them into the socket so a little bit of glue or any kind of piece of cloth. I just have a little electrical tape, put it on the bolt head, and stick into the socket. That way your screw will stay in there. Then you can just put it right in and start it. We'll just fast-forward as Mike replaces and tightens up those two bolts. Reconnect the harnesses to your switch pack. Then line up your switch panel and push it back down into place.
