Thank you. I can do this. I'm a 68 yr old woman. With your video won't be too hard for me

This video was a god send! I had to replace the window regulator and door handle at the same time. Just picked the parts up from O'Reilly's today and got home. Then turned your video on and followed it step by step. Thank you so much for making this. I've got the whole thing put back together now and it all works perfect!! Now I can go through the drive thru again without having to get out and walk up to the speaker and place my order of pay for my food lmao!

You don't have to take the whole door assembly apart.. This is the professional method but it's a lot more involved than it has to be for the DIYer

You're right the rivet was right there once the door panel was off and it had clearance to disconnect the 2 rods that are attached to the handle and lock using a needle nose pliers once the rivet was out and the handle assembly was loose.

Bahahah I snapped the plastic off the rivet, sled the old door handle forward from the bracket and off it goes. Then just put the new one back on over the old rivet. No need to drill it out and rivet to secure the new door handle. It’s secure enough🤣

I've re-lubed the window motor gear and window actuator teeth, since you have the panel out and easy to access that area as well. The original factory lube is usually dirty and dried out, at the age these trucks are, now.

Why did you take apart the entire assembly? I pulled the door panel, drilled out the rivets and replaced the entire thing and the whole process to 5 minutes. There was no need for all that extra work lol

That was painful... If you are changing the actuator maybe but I have changed several handles without removing the inner panel. I love 1A Auto and will continue to by my parts and watch your videos but this one was overkill.

Would I need to replace the whole handle and lock if the lock is just not moving? The doors still lock and unlock, just the manual thing that shows red when unlocked doesnt move on my drivers door. Just something disconnected?

Curious...why did you not list the rivet gun in the tools ..but hammer and chisel and painters tape was mentioned?

Do you have a video for the roll up window?

It went great. At least I didn't have automatic locks and windows. Great video. Ps. Some of the plastic items were dry rotted. Other than that only took 45 minutes.

Hello A1, great video .... I had one problem though.. after I replaced my new outside door handle and got everything put back together, my glass won't slide up and down correctly. we made sure it was on the track properly, all parts put back and our hopes of completing a perfect job was dashed when we tried to roll it up. Any ideas where went wrong?

+Mike Ortega Thanks for watching! It seems that the window track was affected when performing this repair. You will have to open up the door and make sure the window track is in the correct position. 1aauto.com

Great video since I had a broken inner door handle assembly and a rusted out window rail. I appreciated your detailed video especially how to get the regulator assembly rollers back into the window lift rail, couldn't figure out that one for the life of me. Any thoughts on what I should use to attach the window to the new lift rail. Stuff I took off the bottom of the window was like a rock, had to wire brush it off so the new rail would fit back on to the window bottom but wondering what I should use to secure the rail to the window, otherwise I'm sure the rail will eventuall pull off unless I do, thanks in advance and great video, luckilly I have manual crank window so wayyyyy less wireing other than the speaker!

Do you sell the GM 15707298 Deflector Assembly, Front Side Door Water 1995-2000 GM If so, how much?. It says it's discontinued, and tape doesn't do it anymore.

Is it same process if your truck has roll up windows?

Had my mechanic replace the inner door handle a year ago, it just broke again. Why do you think that happened? the original factory handle lasted 25 years!

My driver's side lock barely wants to lock could that be to change the handle or actuator

Replacement part is also plastic, not pot metal like the original

The minute he said 10mm socket I said oh hell nawww

+mavricZ71 Thanks for watching! You should be able to remove the rod that attaches to the actuator just like the other ones he does before hand! 1aauto.com

At 9:30, he says "Don't forget to engage the lock actuator." What does that mean and how is it done? I can't really see a thing of what he did based on the video.

What's the worst that can happen if I don't reinstall the vapor barrier? I tore it up removing it and then trashed it.

Can I not put a new rivet in??

I don't have power windows. Only crank windows. So how in the heck am I supposed to replace it?!

What size rivet was that

Over kill to replace a handle but professionally executed video thanks

Yea definitely don’t do what these guys did. Just drove a rivet push the unit forward unhook the rods and replace. It takes longer to get the door panel off then it does to swap out the handle. This video should be removed as it is way overkill to remove the whole inside of the door assembly.

Overkill

Seems a little brutish. To each their own.

: when your shop gets 125$ an hour. Lol. Yes. This is prob the "best" but are way better ways and shortcuts

This is the most complicated, and mostly unnecessary way to do this. You need to pull the door panel, drill the rivet, pull the door handle unit forward, pull out until you can see the link rods, then unclip link rods. In the past, I have found 1A Auto to have very informative videos. This one is extreme overkill. There is no reason to fully take off the door panel, wires, light, buttons & tweeter. This video should be removed.
