Sliding Door Panel Removal & Handle Replacement - Buick Terraza

- The process of removing the sliding door interior panel and replacing the exterior sliding door handle seems like a daunting task. It isn't as bad as you'd think. The hardest part is removing the "C" pin holding the interior handle on and dealing with getting the door pins in and out.
25 pack of door pins (door clips) on Amazon:

Great job, easy to follow. Thanks
Good job, Man. Straight to the point. Thank you for making this video.
That little screw was there on mine (probably on all), and I never would have looked for it if not for the video (saved me a "snap!!"). I've never had so many things go right on a project like this, and this video gets the credit for that. I did, however, change only the chrome handle. It was tricky removing the pins, but I never had to take out the old, painted casing.
This looks to be just what I need to fix the door on my '02 Silhouette. I'll probably try and find my replacement parts at a junkyard to save a buck or two. Thanks!
awesome details because the inside handle popped off some how and the part of the video that showed how to put it back on with the adjustment of the pin ...6:33...worked perfectly for my nissan quest!!!!
Good! I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you for posting this!
Thanks for the video dude
Good video
Thanks so much! A huge help!
thank you mister
I have a terraza and have replaced both sides twice
Great video.
Khristi Camp Thanks! I didn't know these handles would break off so easily. The funny thing about replace it was that the part I dreaded the most was getting the paint on the new handle to match as close as I could. I'm glad my minivan was white!
good job !!
I'm working on one of these POS PSD now. The proper tool to remove that inside handle is J-42506
How did you get the pin off? magic?
Thank you, helpful!!!
this handle looks identical to my 1997 Venture handle. it's funny how my handle just mysteriously stopped working and the car was 17 years old at the time haha :)
it would be horrible for a car 2005 car to be breaking already!
What type and size are the 4 bolts that hold the latch assembly on the side of the door?
what if it broke in the closed position and I heard a thud of metal on the floor of the door?
Our door handle broke and I can't get the door open even in the manual mode. Is your door a power door as well?
wagil90 Mine was not a powered door. The steps would be close to the same though for replacing the handle in a powered door.
Okay so quick question. how do i get the door open if the door handle from the outside is broken and only way to open it is from the inside BUT the child lock is on and it doesnt open from the inside or outside. What do i do
Have you solved your problem? I just did this yesterday. You will have to remove the inner door panel, at least the upper section of the panel to gain access to the whole mechanism in order to at least get the door open. After removal or partial removal, you will notice access holes to operate the mechanism manually, you will also see a hole specifically for the child lock lever. That whole mechanism needs to be removed to gain access to the handle.
Either I bought this exact same 2005 Buick Terraza or there's a screw at the corner of every panel haha
My kids broke the handle and the child safety lock was engaged. What can I do to get this door open and get the handle replaced? Any ideas will help. By the way my doors are power doors as well, but the motor went out on it before this broken handle business.
+Tere Briseno LOL! That stinks! That is a bad combination. I'm not sure what to tell you.
+travisgrindal yes it is a very bad combination! :/
+Tere Briseno There is a metal piece that the handle pulls out to open the door. If you could get something in there and pull it out, hopefully you could get the door opened. At that point, you could turn off the child lock and then start looking at changing out the handle.
+travisgrindal Thanks I will look into that and try it out
How did you remove the C pin?
Later, I bought a cheap removal tool from Harbor Freight. In this video, I think I used a set of needle nose pliers to get it off.
@@travisgrindal I got through the repair and got everything closed up, but failed to check to make sure it functioned. I went to get it pulled back apart and now when I went to push this clip off again, it bent so that the accessible side of it is off and bent under while the opposite side is still engaged. I worked on it for like an hour the other day. Watched this video to see if that freak occurrence happened to anyone else. 🤦♂️ I guess I will go wrestle with it some more before I run out of sunlight.
thank you soooo much travisgrindal you save me $$$$$ from a dealer !!!!!
Great! My kids and i broke ours again. i need to get another one. :)
:)
my inside door handle does not have that metal clip that you showed
+Elizabeth Suminski What is holding our door handle on then? That pin should be what is holding it on.
Just my luck. Drivers side sliding is closed all the way,but guess what?
Neither the inside nor outside handle will open the stinking door.
Argh Matie. What to do.
Life. If it's not one thing, it's 20,000. Lol.
Oh well.
