2011-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee: How to remove chrome door handles 

Great job! Thank you for posting this video as I followed it to swap my handles out on my 14 WK2. With your help, starting with step 1 how to make coffee all the way to the end, it took me just around. 3 hours to do all four doors! Great video!

Best video for DIY, very detailed. I even followed the first step to make ☕️ coffee.

Excellent job….. I’m changing out a broken handle on my neighbors Cherokee for her… much appreciated

great job man , I hate the chrome on my 2017 Jeep GC overlaid I am going to send out my Jeep badging to carbon fiber dipping the grill rear signal light bezels . bright white door handles are a big must thank you.

He did such a great job he made look so easy.

How close were you from completely removing the inner trim? Im buying a new door and everything needs to transfer to it

I've been wanting to wrap my jeep but couldn't figure out the door handles. Thank you sooooooo much!!

Thanks a million for this video. I had a lot of work to do on my door and this video helped the whole way. Great video!!!

You deserve a lot more views for this.

Probably easier and less frustrating to just wrap the handles. Great breakdown, but I don’t have the patience.

1/4 in ratchet works better. The 5/16 is actually 8mm

Great video, very helpful , love the detail and explanations.

Thank you

Im gonna try it to replace my 2020 limited driver handle

thats awesome. i am sure u get this question often and im sure i know the answer but, why don you just pick up the coers that 3M to the existing handles. I am assuming because you want the actual handles. Which i get but for me i am just going to get the covers. With that said you did help me learn other things about the door as well so either way this was veryt helpfull. Specially when i decide to change the ambiant lighting color from cyan to RGB and when i sound deaden the doors

I have a '19 GC and the rear passenger door does not open. A mechanic thinks he can get it open by removing the door handle. How can he do that with the door closed?

Thanks a bunch! Great video!

Front doors were a pain, even with taking the door latch off on the side of the door. My arms were just to big to get them moved around. I eventually pulled the door skin back far enough but had to watch breaking off the plastic inside holding the lock on. Btw the video is amazing, damn arms were just to big esp after dropping a bolt. Hey wife lol

Great video! 👍🏼 Do you have a part number for the white door handles? I’ve tried getting them but they all seem to be a primed finish ready for painting.

Great video, my compliments to you. Chrysler Jeep engineers did a shitty job on these door handles.

A lot of work to remove such a small and simple part

Great video, your a life saver.

thanks bud

You have great skills, this isn’t for the impatient or someone with minimal mechanical skills

I must of missed when you viynl wrapped the handles. Is that time consuming or finicky?

This is a fantastic video. I did the same thing- I have a 2016 Overland. Came out perfect with the help of this video! TK

Great video it help a lot

Why did you take the glass out on the front passenger side and not the back doors?

Hey could you provide info or video on how you switched out the rear step surround? I've got.the mopar blk textured rear step surround, and it has tabs all around the piece, snap on functionality, without any screws. How did you pop off this piece? Thank you.

Is it harder getting the window back in?

Nice I want to replace the chrome on my limited with all black accents. Where did you get your accents

10:39 Try lining the socket with a scrap of notebook paper, and nut will not fall out when you remove it. Tape one side of scrap onto the side of socket to hold in place. 14:29 Mask off paint around door handle to protect from scratches while fidgeting to remove door handle.

Great Job

Can you let me know where you got the black trim piece that goes around the step plate on the rear bumper? Thanks!

Hell yeah major help was stuck for a good little minute now it’s a breeze lol

“It’s gonna be pretty straight forward”. Proceeds to take off 4 door panels lol

So here is my question. I have murdered out several of my Jeeps in the past but my 15 Limited has the chrome covers on the door handles and the side view mirrors. I want to paint them to match the body color, True Blue Pearle using paint from the Touchup Zone. Any tips on removing the covers and any experience with Touchup Zone paint? Thanks.

Was thinking of buying body colored door handles but after seeing this video on how to replace them it just doesn't seem worth it. I'm mostly concerned that everything doesn't get put back as securely and I'll end up with rattles etc.

thanks for the video this is a headache

Did you buy a whole mirror or is there a cap to put over the chrome or replace it?

Any reason why you chose to replace the whole handle (which I am sure was not cheap) as opposed to buying the $20 black gloss handle covers and painting them OEM white to match your jeep? I am leaning towards this as a cheaper option then replacing the handles themselves. Thoughts?

Should i do this for my chrome handles on my black 2015 or just do the cover/ wraps ? ... thanks for the help

Great informational video! Would you be willing to show me how to replace the chrome outer window lining with the black? To order this black strip, you need to identify a Jeep GC at a dealership, then ask what part # it is. This would make the GC look even cleaner imo. Any suggestions? Also, do you have a video on swapping out the side mirrors? Thanks again.

I prefer the chrome have a black 2015 overland.

Where did you order the matching door handles from? I have a 2021 Overland.

Where did you get the black head light bezels and the black grill im looking for the pieces on my jeep wk2 2019

Does anyone know what would cause the passive entry on the front passenger door not to work after doing this? It works fine on the drivers side but not on the passenger. Unlocking and locking neither one works from the outside.

How did you replace the fog light bezel? We have the part coming today to change ours out today

Is there anyway of doing this replacement without taking out the glass in the front doors?

Did u buy all thru dealer ?

Where did you purchase the Black fog light bezel.

Did the new handles come with a new physical key, or do you need to switch out the lock from old to new handles?

Hey, thanks so much for making this video, I’ll be using it for sure to replace my handles as well! Would you happen to remember where you picked up that red tool for removing the interior door panel and window control panel?

Could you share the link on eBay where you got the white mirror caps? I’m having trouble finding white ones. Thanks!!!

Soo do you actually have to remove the window on the front is it away around it

I might have missed it, but where did you get the pre-painted handles?

Well Done

Great Job, I just started to black out my overland. I’ll follow you on IG

Ha ha...you went from jeep to Subaru...I was looking at Subarus and almost bought one, but the fact that they do not have the ability to lock up the drive train off road led me to buy a Jeep Cherokee trail hawk. After a small lift and bigger tires I have an off road beast that none of the newer Subarus can touch off road no matter how you mod them!

Hi, where did you find the mirror caps ?

Thanks for this. Please don't take this video down for at least a couple of months. That should give me enough time to tackle the project LoL. Also, are those the stick on mirror covers or did you paint them? If stick on, how do you like them?

Do the mirror caps just pop off?

No way it takes this long

Where did you buy the handles from

You didnt have to take the window out on the back door ?

Where did you get the mirrors from?

who else thinks this rigid inner panel system is stupid?

The manufacturer needs to redesign the door handle. I don't like it.

such bullshit I gotta take the window out for a door handle

How does this DIY get 24 thumbs down has got me stuffed! how detailed videos do you pricks want?😂🤣

Aww man f^*# all that noise, I’m wrapping the handles while they’re on the Jeep..

thanks a lot time so remove excelent

Dude are u kidding keep the window up while u do it

What a bad design. Honda is the best. Who would approve this design?

You went through all that trouble when you could of got them wrapped for $100 🤦🏽‍♂️

Get to the point

Fucking jeeps 😂

That shit suck 😒

Thank you
