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 a rear door panel on a '97 Buick LeSabre. It's going to be basically the same left or right, and basically the same procedure for a '97 through a '99 model. You'll need a 10mm socket, wrench, and an extension if you have one as well as a flat blade screwdriver and a Torx 25 screwdriver.
Use a flat blade screwdriver and pry off the back, remove my switch by prying off the two plastic connectors, be careful not to break them, or the two plastic tabs. Pulls this up and out of the way. The Torx 25 screw right behind the door handle. Get that out, and pull the plastic out. You may have to pull on the door handle a little bit to help get that plastic out from behind. Use a small pocket screwdriver to remove this reflector. Pressing in and down with the screwdriver helps get those clips that are on the top and bottom of that out. Now, we're going to take out four bolts one is right in here, one is straight in, and then you have two under where your switch pad was. I'm going to fast-forward this as I remove those four 10mm bolts. Now, I'm just going to get the rest of those clips off by prying between the door panel and the door itself. The clips I'm talking about are on the inner edge of the door panel. Just pop them, pull it out. Disconnect your harness by pulling the tab on the side. Go ahead and plug back in the connector there, place this one up through the back.
Here, I'm just hanging the door panel on the sill of the door and then pressing in those yellow clips that I used my fingers on the inside of the door panel to pull apart and just making sure that the bolt holes are lined up. Then install a 10mm screw here. Here, I'm just installing the switch back into the switch plate, and pushing it down into the door panel. With the door handle cover, you're going to want to make sure that the notch where your lock and unlock fits up on the lock and unlock yellow rod there, and you have to pull handle out, play with that, and make sure that's centered. I'm reinstalling the Torx 25 screw.
