It appears the clip holding my door lock actuator rod is different from this one
Great video!! I was able to fix mine:) The mechanic wanted to charge me $75 just for someone to look at it! I bought the part and replaced while watching and pausing your video. Thank you so much!!

I bought the part direct from GM parts but used your video. It was excellent. It took me about 20 minutes to change the handle out. Your video was invaluable!
The clip on the actuator was different for my 2014 suburban. I found a helpful video by Austin Yount ("2012 silverado exterior handle yellow clip") showing my clip, but still couldn't get it off. We ended up sliding the handle off the top part of the rod (carefully!) and sliding the new one on. It needed some wiggling and a needle nose plier, but it went back on. Then I was able to proceed with the video. The rest of the video is spot on!
Outstanding video that allowed even a novice DIY mechanic to replace a broken door handle on my 2010 Denali without any issues. Thanks for posting.
This was very helpful. I followed the steps and did 3 of my doors myself. Thank you for this video, because people were trying to charge me $120-$180 just to install one door handle. I truly appreciate the help.
Great Video. I used this video to teach me how to fix the right rear door handle on my 2013 Chevy Silverado. Door handle cost me $20.00. The last time I broke a door handle the Car Shop fixed it for $180.00.
Thx guys! Another at home shade tree mechanic job in the books.
The plastic tab for mine looks different.. 13 LT. The bolt that goes through the spring of the handle came loose, which was my issue. Looks like the cotter pin vanished, so i replaced it after resetting bolt. But now i have to reset that plastic piece, and im hoping not to break it 😅
Great video. Got it changed out in 30 minutes. Thanks!

I did it in 20
everything is exactly the same on my 2009 escalade except for the plastic clip on the rod. I can't figure out how to get it off! It's plastic but made a little different. I don't want to break it because I'm not sure if i can buy another one. Please help!!
Excellent video. Side note: 2007 Yukon Denali only has 2 10mm bolts that must be removed to remove the door panel.
Story time...
A few months back I had just returned home after a month out of state for work. I was loading the kids up in the 2013 Suburban that we had just bought a month or so earlier, and I noticed that the rear door handle felt somewhat stiffer than I remembered. I didn't think too much into it that very moment despite the fact that little things like that bug the absolute hell out of me.
A couple of hours later we are on the highway and I can sense my majorly-pregnant wife excitedly grinning in my direction for no apparent reason as if she desperately wanted to tell me something. I knew something was up. I said "Okay, what's so funny?" I had a strong sense that she had done something mischevious. It was just...that look.
So knowing how meticulous I am about taking care of my vehicles, she finally starts out by saying "Okay, you can't get mad at me... but I'm very proud of myself."
Oh boy... 😳
Still grinning, she begins telling me about a cold day in January while she was getting the kids loaded up to go to an appointment. She was leaving early enough to go get coffee and take her time - a couple of hours early. Well, when she pulled on the door handle it seemed frozen in place. So she pulled harder... typical woman move right there. 🤦♂️
A lightbulb clicked on in my brain. 🤦♂️ I see where this is going...
When she pulled harder, the handle broke off. 🤦♂️ 😑
Well, she said that all she could think of was how mad I would be about it (yes, I'm petty like that lol). So without missing a beat, she starts calling around. Over $400 quote to fix the handle. There's no way she's getting away with breaking the handle and then paying $400 to fix it...lol.
So what does she do? She gets on CZcams and finds this video. Lmao
Then she calls the parts store, finds it in stock, spends the $40 or whatever it was for the new stiff handle and a couple tools, comes home and pulls the door apart. She watches this video another time or two, and then does the entire job herself. Lmao
She loads the kids up, still gets her coffee, and still makes it to her appointment on time. 2 words: Bad. Mammy. Jammy.
Needless to say, there's no way I can be mad or even annoyed about the stiff handle. I think of her story every time I almost try to pull on it harder... 🤣
A big thanks to 1A Auto for this and *all* your videos. They've been a big help many times! 👍🏻
Thank you for having so much on my 07 Chevy suburban Ltz guys...
OMG!! You saved me so much money and we did it ourself!! Thank you so much for all your expertise and knowledge!!

Putting tape on the bolt helps, but you end up with tape "under" the washer. I have done it. But, Not a good thing as it can affect the tightness and longevity of the holding. I tear off a corner of a paper towel like bounty, it's just the right thickness. Put it over the bolt, push it into the socket, tear off excess, and the socket pulls off easily if you wiggle if side to side as you pull back gently. Even with a swivel. Another thing, never start any bolt by rachet, grab the extension and twist it by finger. Turn backwards till you feel the threads drop into alignment, then start threading in. The nut insert on this particular handle has very little reinforcement and as you alluded to, too much torque and the nutsert will break off in the plastic. Cross thread one if these handles and you end up with $100 dollar piece if junk. I installed autoglass for 17 years but got out in 2002. So was not familiar with this one. Manufacturers are always looking for easier assembly methods and those that have less squeaks and rattles. They don't give a rats arse about disassembly. Thanks guys.
Your videos are always spot in with great camera angles so you can actually see what us going on. The clip on the rod was a little bit different, and I know, wrong direction and those things break. Thanks again.
I am not sure about the linckage rod,mine might be bent, because it jams on the lock part of the door
Thank you because of ur video I was able to change out my door handle 💞
Thank you! We had to fix the door handle, put it back into its socket but we had to take the panel off and apart to get to it. This helped so much and it’s fixed! Thank you so so so much lol.

My clip for the rod is different and this is not helpful😢
ALWAYS AWESOME Videos!! Thanks for such informative help!
thanks for posting this it helped a ton !! but you dont have to take the whole damn interior door off if you can keep it elevated off the ground but off the door
I was unable to disengage the accuator clip so I replaced it without doing so. Put it all back together and now the door won't open at all. I think the clip broke away. Does 1A Auto sell the clip?
Mine was already a little broken and tried to open the door came out with the whole handle and rod … but the rod looks short compared to urs does that mean I broke the rod ?
Can I use my old rod with a new handle?
Took a little finessing on the first one. Second one was butter. I AM NOT A MECHANIC, but all went well.
Great how to video made replacing a breeze
My rod clip doesn't look like the one in the video. Can't figure out how to un clip it. Help!!
Me neither
My rod clip is shorter for my Chevy Tahoe 2008. Don’t know how to unlock it either
Mine too. Replaced it without unclipping but it broke so don't do that 😢. Door won't open at all now.
The trim tool link isn’t listed in the list of tools in the description
Great video but what is “Panter’s Tape” on the marquee at the beginning of the video?
“Painter’s Tape”!
Thank you
I wish you would explain how to pop those interior latchs holding the door panels. No way mine comr off as easy as you make it appear
I need the clip that hold the rod
Hello, do you have a name or part number for where the door handle cable goes? The inside of the interior door handle that the cable latches into, it has broken on my 2014 Tahoe.
Thanks for the help fixed my 08 Tahoe with easy 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you for the educational video
Anyone know if we can Jerry rig the actuator? Mine is somehow missing
It's all great info except the yellow clip holding the actuator rod would not open, it actually does not look exactly like that one...ended up putting the panel back together wo changing the handle.
Thank you for this video.
Are you replacing the exterior door handle with a plastic or metal handle. If metal how much is it for a 2012 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew cab for the left rear door?
Thanks for watching! At this time, we do not carry a metal handle for your vehicle. +Wildhog32
1A Auto Parts So was that a plastic doorhandle that you were installing on that vehicle
The clip that holds lever attached to door handle is different and much shorter in my 2012 Tahoe. I just had to remove the lever from the handle and somehow managed to push it in the new handle. The clip wouldn’t open. If i could upload the image i would to show what i exactly mean. Also 2012 Tahoe also has just 2 x 10mm screws.
This video is applicable to the 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 Chevy Suburban or GMC Yukon. It may be a little different for your 2012 Tahoe. Thanks for watching~! +sandeep singla
Is this same procedure for silverado or sierra?
+Gustavo Estrada We don't have a how-to video for your vehicle right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Buy this part for your vehicle on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thanks for a great video

I just replaced this yesterday. Before putting everything back together I tested to make sure the door would open and it did. But once everything was put back together the door will not open from the inside or the outside. Any ideas?
+Payton Gregory Thank you for checking us out. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing this problem. We recommend revisiting and ensuring that the connecting rods are fully connected and locked into place. 1aauto.com

This was EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you very much. I was disappointed to see how low quality the components in the door were, including the "chrome handle. Thanks again!
I just followed this exactly and everything worked. An hour later, both inside and outside door handles will not open the door (unlocked). Any ideas?
Did you ever figure this out ? I replaced my door handle and now my door is jammed shut

Holy Smoke!! I have a better idea... remove the hood ornament and replace everything under it. Take less time!
Horrible video
awesome, detailed how too. Thank you!!
