DOOR HANDLE INSIDE BROKEN 98 SIERRA

For inside door handles, a special tool is required. It slips behind the door handle or window crank and moves the clip down so the handle will come off. For the outside door handle, Take the inside handles off using the special tool (available at any auto parts store). Remove the inside door panel. Remove the retainer clips for the door/lock linkage.The outer handle is held on by bolts on the inside of the door. Good luck

This is a tough one. The whole inside door panel has to come off. Careful not to break the glass.
I attached a cord to the linkage and now use that as my handle. It seems hokey, but I didn't have the cash for the replacement and I only had to partially remove the panel.

mcdevito75 here, The inside of the door panel has to be removed then linkages removed, you may need special tools, let a shop that does glass, locks change that handle for you.

the 1999 suburban interior door handles are plastic you cannot adjust them, only if they have came of the screws, usualy replacing them is the only solution... remove the small plactic cover behind the door handle and check to see if you have any broken parts on the handle you will notice if there is if you see like a whitish strecht mark on your beige or grey handle

on the inside of the trim peice take a flathead screwdriver and gently work around the inside of the trim peice and if you find the right spots were the clips are it will just pop off.

remove interior door panel(need special tool to pop plastic clips holding panel to door)with panel off remove plastic film,with window up you should be able to see two 10m nuts-bolts to remove-also have to pop lever off that goes down to door latch

Broken inside door handles are a common problem and there is not an easier way of fixing problem.drill out head of rivet with a 3/16 drill bit.Then slide handle assy. from panel.To install new handle attach the two rods you removed .Then slide new handle back into the slots and replace the rivet.

if you pull out on the window crank just a little you can see the clip get a skinny flat head and push one end of the clip it will fall on the floor so dont lose it then the crank will slide off you should be able to get it from there

Hey there.You can purchase a door pin and bushing repair kit to tighten up the hinge area,requires removing the door to replace.If the hinge area is worn to badly,the brass bushings willnot last.Also your window crank handle is held on by a C-clip behind the handle in between the plastic shim and the handle which requires a special tool to remove or a small screwdriver to get the clip off.It is hard to see.The shaft that the handle is on are known to wear also and if thats the case you will need to have the window regulator replaced.Hope this helps.John.

there is a metal bar inside that clips into the handle they come off all the time there is a plastic clip that hold the 2 together it most likely has fallen off and into the bottom of the door you can put it back together easily if clip cannot be found you can buy them at local parts store for a couple bucks..hope this helps
