Well I finally got me a Tahoe after months of looking and I was wondering if anybody had a write on how to install the outside door handles on the 07+ Tahoes? I've got a set of colormatched door handles coming and was just trying to get ahead of the game. Thanks for looking!

Thanks,

Yeah -- We don't really want to see another truck pic... We just want proof that you got one! ;)

Best of luck with it!

I would bet it's similar to my 06.....get the door panel off, make sure the window is all the way up.......there might be one fastener that is accessed through the side of the door (black plug?).

If it's like the 06 it's going to be tight up in there, probably 3 or 4 nuts holdng them on.

Good luck!

I did it when i installed my speakers. its really easy.
Just pop off the door panels on the inside as if you were going to change out speakers and you can see the bolts attaching the handles. You unscrew the old ones and screw the new ones in and your done.
