Hey ChrisFix!
New fan here whos watched like 40-50% of your content in the last like three weeks lol. Youtube problems, but anyways I noticed you never really had any videos of replacing actual door handles and their cables. I have a Ford Ranger XLT with doors that open to the back seat, unfortunately both back doors have door handle problems that dont work, and one was really butchered by the previous owner to the point the entire cable needs to be replaced. The doors open much like how your truck does, where you need to open the front door before the back. Realizing that you probably dont have this problem and the work wouldnt need to be done to your car, but you would awesome if you could make a video of a scrap yard truck that has the process door handles and cables removal. Thank you for your great content, and maybe one day i may see a video on this!

Thanks for that Chris. I've checked out a ton of how-to's and most have been helpful for whatever I've been trying to repair. However, your videos are put together much, much nicer than all the others I've seen. Not only is the quality (both sound and visual) excellent but you don't talk down to me. You don't speak to me as if I know absolutely nothing about - in this case - a flat head screwdriver and a 10mm socket, door panel clips and wires. I appreciate that very much. this is the only video of yours I've seen and now I'm curious to look at some others - even if I don't need to fix whatever it is. Thanks very much.
Oh, and I also wud like to know why you cover your identifying features? :)

I know this video's old, but I was thinkin of it today while I replaced the driver's side rearview on my 2010 Ranger. The panel was definitely not as tricky as the one in this video, but I did learn one thing from havin to deal with the whole thing: steer well clear of traffic barrels when you're goin fast.
On the bright side, I was able to lube up my window tracks and remove the chatter I've been dealin with for about a year. hahaha!

Thanks Chris I'm pretty good at do it myself mechanics, But I was afraid of breaking clips Because I wasn't sure where they were located. Your video showed me exactly where they were located and exactly how to do it only took 30 mins and never broke nothing Excellent video Thanks a lot, Also I'm looking to change a front Bumper on my 2004 Trail Blazer any Video's from you on that would be helpful to.

Years later, I now have my own 2005 Trailblazer, and this will definitely help me when I decide to upgrade my stock, manual everything mirrors to ones with power adjust, heat, and integrated turn signals (according to the TrailBlazer forums, they're plug and play 9 times out of 10, minus drilling the hole for the mirror control stick)

Chrisfix, do you know if the knob to adjust the sideview mirrors is replaceable or not. Mine somehow fell into the door. I watched your video and it seems to be attached to the inside door panel that you removed. any suggestions? Your video makes changing a sideview mirror look so easy. Thanks for taking the time to post.

Thanks, sir! That was really great and methodical. I am looking forward to replacing a mirror of a different vehicle. There were some really good pointers to look for as I peal apart my door. Merry Christmas!

Hey Chris, great vid, quick question, you think the side mirrors with turn signals with work on a 02 LS. I have a busted side mirror and thinking of replacing both but it seems better with turning signals
