Removal Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Safari and 2003 Chevrolet Astro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the trim panel. Refer to TRIM PANEL REPLACEMENT - DOOR .
  2. Use a 6 mm (0.24 in) drill bit in order to remove the head from the door bracket rivets.
  3. Remove the rivets that retain the bracket to the door.

    Important:  Water deflectors seal the inner panel. Water deflectors prevent water from entering into the body. A strip of adhesive between the deflector and the door secures the deflector.

  4. In order to remove the water deflector, several components need to be removed first. Remove the armrest bracket.
  5. Remove the lock lever.
