The black inner door latch for the rear set of dutch doors in my 2002 GMC Savana 1500 van is broken. It is the left hand door, and it can't be opened if this latch is broken. Now the left hand side door has done the same thing, and I can't fully open either set of double doors on this damn van! It is just a black latch on the inside of the left hand dutch door....I know the interior door panel must be taken off to access the latch, but what else do I need to know?
You can pick up the handle from your local GMC dealer. I paid roughly $90 for both (a bit high...but money well spent!) As noted, yes; you do have to remove the interior door panel. From there it's just a matter of removing 4 nuts (metric #10 socket), and replacing them back once the new handle is slipped into place! The bars that operate the door latches simply snap into the plastic clips attached to the handle assembly.
The operation sounds worse then what it really is. It took me longer to write up this review than it did to actually do the work! 5 minutes max...done!! Hell, if you're local; buy the parts
