Removing Door Panels

[YukontGetThis]

I searched "removing door panels" and nothing came up, running speaker wire to the doors next weekend instead of factory stuff. What is the proper way to remove these tahoe door panels so no clips get broken. thanks.

You pry out the cover behind the interior handle, theres a bolt there. You pry out the cover that houses the window and door switches, theres a bolt there. Then theres one more that is visible under the grab bar thing. After theres that piece on top towards the front that you just have to pull off. Then just pull up.

there ya go. says its for a 02, but i do know that 03 up, the window switch come off differently.. but same basics.

The reason I asked what year is because the 03-06 Tahoes are slightly different than the 00-02 models. They are pretty much the same except there are a few hidden screws on the 03-06 ones. I know there is a screw behind the door lock switch (not the powerlock switch). The power window and lock switches don't just pop off like on the 00-02 doors. You have to reach up behind there and unplug the wires because the switches are screwed to the door panel from behind.

If anyone would like to do one for the 03-06 I would appreciate it, or post up a picture of your door with maybe some circles or arrows showing where to pry and where the screws are located. I have a blown speakers that really need to be replaced.

almost same as link i posted, except DO NOT PRY UP the window switches, you will break them. there is a screw under it, holding it to the door panel.

Scottyboy has said whats different on the 03 up.
