Start by going to the stor and picking up some good quality silicone adhesive your going to need it. First remove trim around handle (snaps out) then disconnect rod's from left & right side (little blue clips) now pull on each of these rods with pliers to open tailgate. Now remove 3 screws on inside of tailgate. Now handle is ready to come out, this is where the fun starts. You cant get handle out of the opening. You now have to remove the trim piece along the top of the tailgate. Run a 2-3" long knife aling seam, cutting the two sided tape to open it up. Snap off trim piece (watch not to scratch paint like me) now you can remove assembly & reinstall new one. Use the silicone to re seal seam.
I would not recommend this method. We just changed one and pulling slighty on the fiberglass panel and slipping the mechanism out sideways works very well.

How do I fix the tailgate on a 2004 GMC Sierra that won't latch?
On my 2002 avalanche, I was told to take the handle off and inside there are to blue or green clips with threaded rods in them. I just popped open the clips with a small screwdriver, then moved the rods out a few threads and reclip. IT WORKED GREAT MY TAILGATE WOULD POP OPEN WHEN I HIT A BUMP BUT NO MORE!!
