So I found out today that the rear door handles are different from the front. But I found out that this truck is made very cheap. 1 push in clip, 1 15 mm torxs, 1 9/32 screw and the door panel is off. I could only install the rear handles today and it makes a big diff in the look. I put the color match backing with the chrome handle.

You say cheap, I say smart. Have you ever had the pleasure of taking of a door panel in an older car? I much prefer the newer design. You don't have to worry about prying those stupid f#$(ing clips off and finding the proper ones to replace the broken ones. Not to mention the damage you do to the door panel if you don't do it properly. I would think that it cost GM more money to build the door panels the way they do then if they just used screws to hold it on.





And those are 7mm screws not 7/32 http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Wink.gifEdited by: Max Power
