you guys have helped me so much. I'm turning 16, and my dad bought me a wrecked 03 S10 RWD. I love this truck but it has been a pain in the ass. But with your videos, it has helped me speed up my truck so much! Can't wait to get it on the road this October-November! Again, Thank You 1A Auto
Thank you soooo much! After watching this video I was able to remove the door panels on my GMC Sonoma and replace the outside mirror and window handle. You guys are the best!
If someone could answer this is be very grateful! Doing my own repairs and I don't want to pull on the window crank without knowing exactly what I'm doing first!
Thank you! Had to replace the driver side mirror on my '98 S10, followed your instructions for removing the door panel, and had the job done in less than half an hour. I'm a complete novice. I used the paper clip method for the window handle, took a few tries and expletives, but once I got on the handle clip, it came right off. Awesome video!
@jordan22828 If they are just turning try pulling on the panel in the area of the screw to help them come out. If you have stripped the head then drill off the head to remove the panel. Then use pliers or vise-grips to remove the rest of the screw.
Just watched this to repair the lock mechanism on the inside of the door. My daughter had jambed the key in so hard, it pushed the mechanism into the door. I was able to fix it and didn't tear the door panel up. Thanks!
@abarnes0330 You could try Craigs List or possibly your local junk yard. If you need some of the hard to find plastic door panel retainers, your local dealer could probably get them for you. Hope this helps you out.
Good stuff thank you. I found it easier just to use a large flat head screwdriver and flashlight...it was dark to locate the plastic screw doo-hickeys and pry against metal near them to get the panel loose. I started at the top of both sides and worked my way towards the bottom....Now to figure out if it's the motor, switch, regulator (mechanical) or relay, wiring etc.... gone bad as to why window isn't working....
Thanks! This helped me greatly when my window came out of its track on my 2001 S10 and wouldn't raise or lower anymore. It'll likely happen again, and then I'll know what to do if it does!

@TheBpw6788 Your 93 S10 is a different platform, however most of the basics should be the same. You will need to remove all of the trim pieces and then pry the door panel away from the door. There should be some push pin clips on the backside of the door panel that hold it to the door. Hope this helps. 1aauto.com
Oh and the switches for power windows, locks etc... Use two screwdrivers, the lock switch was difficult. Pry tabs inward with one screwdriver and pry up gently on bottom of connectors with other screwdriver...

I want to buy an actual door panel because mine is broken to heck and back, but I can't find it anywhere on your website. Do you sell it or do you know anyone who does?
Junkyards sell them. When it comes to plastics you're not going to find them new for any older vehicle unless there's a high demand for it. Like the center console arm rest. I'm surprised they're even being made brand new but that only includes the console that's on the floor. The one that's attached to the driver seat you won't find new
Wish that I had seen this vid about six years ago and I would not have damaged my door panel [Those two 7MM screws.] TOTALLY not pertinent to the subject; but glad you listen to good music: Beach Boys Getcha Back (hear it from 5:26 until 7:17)
Hi i have a 99 gmc jimmy. The inside door handle is pulling away from the door so i cant shut it with the handle. How do i fix that? It's pulling the panel itself away from the metal part of the door.
+Adam Allen We do have a video on replacing the headlight assemblies on that vehicle, but not on the diagnostic aspect of them not working. ruclips.net/video/xkOrZoHQxKg/видео.html
You have good explanations, thanks. I'm looking for details on replacing rear bumper on 1998-2003 Chevy S10. Would be great for me if you could do one now! :)
We currently do not have an auto repair video that shows that particular repair. However there should only be a few bolts that hold it in place, usually you can get at them from underneath the bumper. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 866-403-3393
You would need to remove the door panel so that you can access the door lock from inside the door. There may be a clip or a bolt that holds it in place. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
+Chris Johnson We currently do not carry the replacement door panel for this vehicle. You may be able to locate a decent one on Ebay. Hope this helps you out.
i need a door panel ...the idiot that installed my door speakers broke my door armrest handle .. ( the plastic where the two screws hold the door panel) and screwed up several of the plastic clips..ive searched ebay...no one has these door panels in my year and color...is there another way to possibly repair these ???
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately i am not sure what clips you are referring too. The clips we removed in this video are what hold in the window crank handle. The crank handle needs to be removed before the panel comes off. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
@speacock2 Here's a link to the video that shows you how to remove the window crank handle using a paper clip. ruclips.net/user/1aauto?feature=mhee#p/search/0/dnmPVf4KNcw

How do you use the paper clips? Is there a video on using paper clips that I'm not seeing?
If someone could answer this is be very grateful! Doing my own repairs and I don't want to pull on the window crank without knowing exactly what I'm doing first!
I can't figure it out either. He was not clear about the paper clip method

A wrag ir sock can also be used to remove the window crank handle
if you magnetize your nut drivers it makes it easier to replace small bolts and screws.

What clips does the door panel need if I’m buying them from Advance Auto can’t seem to get em right.
Great tutorial, do you have a part number for the back clips that hold in the door panel?
+Casey Rival Thank you for checking us out. We currently do not have the part numbers available for the clips that hold in the door panel. 1aauto.com
@1aauto thank you very much
Oh and the switches for power windows, locks etc... Use two screwdrivers, the lock switch was difficult. Pry tabs inward with one screwdriver and pry up gently on bottom of connectors with other screwdriver...
Thank you!

excellent thanks
Hi i have a 99 gmc jimmy. The inside door handle is pulling away from the door so i cant shut it with the handle. How do i fix that? It's pulling the panel itself away from the metal part of the door.
so say i have a 1993 chevy s10 pickup 5 speed can i do this to my truck to get the door panel out?
what type of window crank removal tool are you using?
paper clip.
How do you remove the portion just under the door handle to replace torn fabric?
Can y'all do a video on headlights don't work on a 98 s10
+Adam Allen We do have a video on replacing the headlight assemblies on that vehicle, but not on the diagnostic aspect of them not working. ruclips.net/video/xkOrZoHQxKg/видео.html

My passenger door won't lock on my 94 s10 so if I do this I can get to lock and replace it?
You would need to remove the door panel so that you can access the door lock from inside the door. There may be a clip or a bolt that holds it in place. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Do you actual sell the door panel!

The paper clip is the part I wish you would have been detailed about. Everything else is simple
Could some one tell me what kind of tires those r in the beginning
On the s10
+Kaleb Cowart Thanks for the question. We don't have that information available to us, sorry!
What kind of door panel clips are those.
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately i am not sure what clips you are referring too. The clips we removed in this video are what hold in the window crank handle. The crank handle needs to be removed before the panel comes off.
