Thank you for posting this amazing tutorial. I have a 2011 Escalade ESV. Lucky for me, I did not have to remove the rod from the yellow “ snap on “ part. I was able to shimmy the old handle off and then shimmy the new handle on. Hopefully this helps someone.
Andy this was the best video I have seen. Replaced the same handle on my 2007 Escalade. The rod clip was tough - it didn't pop open even with a screwdriver. I had to hold the tab back and put force against the rod to snap it open. I also had to spray some WD40 on the door mechanism that catches on the door jamb because the handle was hard to pull and that seemed to help. I think one of us would have broken the new one if I didn't lube it. Thanks again.
I have to do the same door on my EXT only because the sun melted the chrome on top of my handle and it doesn't look good. Thank you very much for such a good video.
Do you happen to know what the orange clip that held the down rod was called? Mine broke and fell into the door where I can't get to it :( Unable to find the part on the parts dialog as well! Thanks and well done video!
Any idea about how to go about getting new replacement bolts? For instance what is the size and where would you get them from? I found that when my handle pulled off it also stripped the threads. Thanks For the great video!
It happened to me! My 5 year old went to get something out of my Escalade before I could unlock it, he broke the part you actually pull on. So now I'm watching this video again (now that I have the new handle) & I'm about to fix it. Car pickup line at school has been interesting this past week. 😂 Thank you Greeks Garage for posting such a great how to video! 🙂♥️
Thanks, great step by step video. Going to tackle this project today.
Man thank you so much I followed your installation step by step and surprised myself saved me from going to the stealership.

Great video on explaining how to tackle this project. Thank you!!
Thank you! 👍🏼
Extremely helpful - same exact problem, pulled on the handle on a cold morning, and broke the handle attachment. These handles are easily broken.
Yes! Like the saying goes..”They don’t make em like they used to” ha

Hey, i tried doing that on my 14 Escalade. The door rod clip is completely different and i wasn't able to open it. Any input on this?

Here’s an Amazon link on where you can get them.

Thanks For the great video!
Oreilly's usually has a package of different bolts for something like this.
So what if my door is on child lock. How do I replace it from the outside?
left and right handle its same?
Yes they are the same.
Happened to me too. I used epoxy to fix.
Great Gandalf
Whatever works I guess. Ha
What if child lock was on?
Ice cube will make plastic harder before you work around it.
I hope my son doesn’t do this but sounds like odds are it will happen 🤷🏻♂️
It will, especially if you lock him out of the car! 😂😬

I replaced my handle, it worked like 20 times and now it doesnt open inside or out 😅
It's not the same for a 2014 Yukon Denali XL
