Daryl Z71's 2006 Silverado Z71 Re-build

Daryl Z71 · October 18, 2015

Have you tried looking for door panels yet. Im getting to that point.

Not yet, I only need one. I'll probably look on Hollanderparts.com whenever I plan to look for one.

I haven't saw anything in LMC's catalog yet as far as door panels. Hopefully if someone does make reproductions they'll be of good quality.

Found out why mine won't open:

This is very difficult to pivot by hand. The top one moves freely with no issues. I would assume that over time the cable has to work harder and eventually breaks because of this. FYI...

You sure don't wanna mess with the 2006 Silverado!

Looks like you and I have the same issue.

Are you also adding sound deadening to the doors?

Daryl Z71 · October 22, 2015

Yes I am. Probably just the extended cab doors for now.

How long did it take to get access to the bolts? Judging by the pictures, not too long...

Nope not long at all. I had to pry the bottom latch open with a crow bar to get the door open. I think there's two bolts in the door panel, and then it pulls right off giving access to everything. Pretty easy.

Woah, that's more than I thought they would cost. Couldn't find it at Rockauto either...boo.

Yea it's a little ridiculous price wise for a dumb latch. I checked everywhere I could think of, and Ebay is the only place I found one. The one place I didn't look though was on Amazon.
