Where can I find an online video tutorial for taking off the inside front door panels on a 2007 Yukon ?

1 of my car stereo speakers is kinda sounding wonky sometimes.
might want to invest in some of these

wondering if my starter is going goofy, shut it off today to drop off some packages with just the hazards on like I do everyday and when I went to re-start it seemed like it turned over once or twice and stopped, turned the key off and tried again and it started up, got home and sat there and left everything on with the key off, lights, stereo, heater and watched my voltage, doesn't appear to be a battery issue and I have a couple of battery and alternator cable upgrades so kinda weird I started it up several times at home and it worked fine each time. Planning on going up to the snow on Sunday and it would be just my luck if this thing decided to die in tim-buck-2

Make sure the window is DOWN.

Carefully pop off the A pillar triangle cover where the mirror is with a trim tool.

Then use a pick tool to pop out the covers behind the 2 door handles. There are 10MM bolts behind those covers. Remove those bolts. One behind the door opening handle and 2 behind the door grab handle. (I usually have a magnetic p/u tool on standby on those 2 so they don't fall into the door.)

Pop out the window switch assembly with a trim tool and unplug the 3 plugs.

I usually start popping the main cover off at the top front where you removed the triangle cover work my way down and around to the back of the door.

Once that sucker is loose you gently pull it up out of the window weather strip channel and out a few inches. At the bottom inside of the door panel there are 2 big white plastic hooks that fit into 2 square voids in the door frame to hold the panel in place temporarily.

Then you need to disconnect the cable from the door opening handle. Use a pair of needle nose to pinch the tabs and release the cable from the housing.

Then you can remove the panel.
Why does it matter if the window is down? I’ve removed the door panels a dozen times and always with the window up :lol:

By the way, there’s a nice write up with pics over in the interior section

It makes it easier with the window down and no worries about scratching window tint. Other than that, nothing

IIRC, I think that only has to be done when you're replacing the window regulator.

Changed the oil, looks like potentially rear main starting to weep.

Oil cooler and power steering lines are about due for a change as well.
They shouldn't be wet in the outside.

Rotating tires later.

the only thing that weeps a smidge on mine is the oil cooler lines up front where they are crimped from metal-to-rubber but I found if I just wipe them off with a rag once in a while they stay clean, I guess less oil for dust to stick on. seems to be a common place where they leak mine is so slow it's not worth the hassle. It's more of a sweat than a weep

Yeah, I've known those lines have been leaking for quite some time, but it never actually seen it wet like I did this time. But I've also never tried to wipe it off.

I don't intend to change it unless I end up pulling the engine or it gets really bad.

But I'm probably going to at least have the new hoses on hand ready to go just in case.

mine had just been replaced with brand new ones in 2017 when I bought and they had some "sweat" on them in a fairly short period so I have just chocked it up to normal.

Wish my oil leak looked like that, mine is shameful.

Today I did all rear brakes, rotors, & parking brake shoes. Also replaced damaged/missing rear coil spring isolators while I was at it. Took me about 2hrs.

Didn't someone show that putting a hose clamp on the crimped area helped eliminate the sweating or weep?

I dedicated a lot of time to some mods on my Tahoe this weekend. I replaced my low beam halogen lights with one of HID Guy's kits, plasti dipped my chrome surround on my grille, tried to repaint my front bowtie (FAIL!), replaced my interior lights with LEDs, installed my holster under my steering column, and replaced a seatbelt latch on the driver's seat. Now I'm waiting on my rear door actuators to come in as well as the billet bowties I ordered. As soon as they get here I'll get to installing them too. Long weekend but I got it done. What did you do to your Tahoe/Yukon?
Whoa whoa whoa
You’re telling me there’s a holster option for our Tahoes?!?!
That’s awesome!!
Or did you fabricate something??
Send pics!!
