Got to love youtube for the DYI er's. I'm replacing the exterior door handle on my 97 suburban. I've watched multiple videos to get me started. I noticed that you didn't show the lock cylinder being seated during assembly. I've tried to do it multiples time by connecting the linkage and attempting to slide the handle assembly in place no bananas. I find this a little perplexing as I was able to remove the handle with the linkage connected then disconnect and pull away. I'm trying to avoid completely removing the inner panel to gain access, cause that door has all the bells and whistles. It seems logical to connect the linkage and slide the cylinder from the back but there seems little room to do that from behind. I don't think there is access from the interior to push it in to seat, so I'll see if I can fit my pickle finger in a push it into place. It would have been helpful to see how that worked. Tomorrow I will try it and with luck a perseverance perhaps I'll succeed. Thanks for the tips and courage Uncle Buck. P.S. I love my Suburb it's an awesome vehicle and I just can't let it go so I chase repairs to keep it on the road.

My tip require some nomenclature: The outside door handle, or latch handle, is connected to a bar on the back side. I call this the latch bar. The latch bar is connected to a latch rod, and secured with a metal clasp. Here are my tips: #1 The other end of the latch bar sits in the top of the latch, the ratchet you see on the door jam that secures the door to the jamb. This latch rod is not secured, so if you pull it out it is easy to forget how to reassemble it. The lock is also attached to the top of the latch. Get a flashlight and look down at the latch. You will see the rod connected to the lock cylinder and a hole to the left for the latch rod. Insert the long straight end of the latch rod into this hole, and now the critical part, the hooked end must enter the latch arm so the the hook faces towards the jam, not the front of the car. If you insert it backwards, your reassembly will be a nightmare and when you do get it back together it will not work. #2 Also, the metal clasps only work in one direction, so if your rod will not snap into the end of the latch arm, remove the clasp and turn it around and it will work out great. #3 The white plastic clips that hold the interior door trim onto the door are brittle. You are likely to break a few, or like me, find some previous Mr. Fix It broke some, so buy extras before taking on this job. #4 No arguments, it's tricky reassembling the door handle. The support for the window is in the way, so above and beyond everything else, the latch bar has to be to the right of that vertical support and then you push it up and as out of the way as you can before you turn to the problem of the lock. The lock rotates, but it has a projection on the bottom so it will only fit in the cylinder channel in one position. I rotated it with my right hand to where I wanted it, then I eased the right side of the whole mechanism towards the car and brought the left side out. This created just enough room for me to tease the lock in with both my pinky fingers. Try it a few times and then get the smallest person in the family to do it, because it takes patience if you have big hands.

Another trick I picked up from another comment thread was use the key to drag the cylinder back into the cylinder channel. That guy's a genius. A paper clip or anything hooked would also do the trick.

My second handle went smooth as silk, but the cylinder wouldn't latch into place. I used a dental pick to drag it forward into the channel, and it bottomed out, cut wouldn't click and lock in. Bottom line, rotate it back and forth and it will click in and your done.

100% on the clips. at 7:00 / 10:06. i broke a clip and im looking for some but cant find any good clips. Most i find are either Rated at under 2 stars with Reviews saying "not good, Wont hold good" One good Thing is i can use the other clip on the passenger side. New Door handle come with a clip. so i can use the old Clip from the Old Passenger door handle. do know its old so i must bend the bitch very slowly so it wont snap like the last one. Pray for me.

Thank you for posting. My PS door has that hole covered (similar to the DS door hole), but doesn't have a key access there. Do you happen know if I can install a key lock on the passenger door, which doesn't have one? I have an extra cylinder lock, but it is for the DS, since the car is designed w/only one key lock on the driver side. The car is different, it is 2009 Nissan Sentra.
