How do you remove door panel for 2002 gmc sierra?

Answer 1

Take off the corner panel- it is connected with tabs so it just pops off. Easy.

Now, the trick is to get the piece with the window/lock buttons off first- this is on by clips- you'll see two little slots to stick a screwdriver in and pop the piece up. Disconnect the wires- mark them to be sure the window goes back to window and door lock goes back to lock. The nice thing is you can now turn on your radio without that annoying "door open" beep going off- making the job that much more pleasant.

There are 3 screws (require 7mm socket) in that general vicinity that need to be removed. Pop the door handle moulding off, starting from the outboard edge. Pop the manual lock casement off with a screwdriver.

OK- now pull straight up- Before you walk away with it- be sure to disconnect the door light and titter speaker connections.

My truck is a 2002 2500. I would gather these instructions should be pretty close for all newer GMC/Chevy trucks. The trick is knowing what is clipped in and what is screwed in. If it doesn't come apart fairly easily- reevaluate what you are doing- you are probably overlooking something.
