The truck came in today. Removed bolt behind door pull and door handle then popped about six clips running along top of door panel and pulled gasket out. Takes about 3 minutes. Very easy install on the new Chevy trucks.

Yup that's the easiest way to do it. Some of these are harder to pull than the others. Just pull the top of the door panel back remove inner gasket and your ready to go. You will not break the top of doorpanel so no worries. Make sure you push metal brackets back down, insert inner gasket when done and panel pops right back into place. The glass does shift a little so adjust accordingly. Ive notice on some of these the glass is kind of sticky so I use a little more sli[ solution on these.

These are different than the last generation was then? On them you can pull the top back but you can NOT get it back over the sweep without pulling the panel. The older yet ones you could pull top and pop it back on but not the last gen.

Ryker Im not sure what your asking. I think Im answering your question. Yes you can just pull back the top of the panel and remove the sweep and yes you can put it back in that way. I would just spray the sweep with my soap solution and slide it back in. I just found it easier and it doesn't take 30 seconds to pop the cover off and remove screw behind door handle. This allows the top of the panel to come back further and give better access to sweep. Hope this helps

I know that when the new body style came out I pulled back the panel and fought with trying to get it over the sweep lip when done. I ended up pulling the panel. It just would not bend enough to make it. I now have a 10mm magnetic socket in a small impact that I use to simply pull these panels. I do a couple a week average and can pop the panel quick and easy.

If you can put the panel back on with just bending it I would love to see that in action....

The older ones were easy to pop back on....

The 2014 snaps back into place. There are metal clips along the rub rail that the top of the door panel snaps back into. Once you do one you will see what I am talking about.

sweet, sounds like the camaro door panel....

Lol I almost said the same thing after I read your other posts about the Camaros. I haven't pulled one of those back but it sounds the same. Im telling you though on some of those new chevys you have to pull pretty hard. :thumb

I finally got me the 2014. I've always just run down to the inner seal on the last gen but this one is flush so I pulled it. My clips were tight and it was rough on the fingers. So tight that if y'all weren't saying it would release, I would have had my doubts. Definitely glad the crusty wasn't hanging around-sounded like it broke!

Some of you are saying about pulling the panel over the seals on the last gen-I'm pretty sure 99 to about 04 panels were the easy ones to do that and about 05-13 were quite a stretch. But unless you really ran the bottom edge down low, there wasnt much need. But the 14 is definitely a pull back set up. 7mm screw now instead of 10mm.

^^ correction, I think 07 was the first year for the panel change, which was a little tighter to stretch over the sweep than the previous. But I'll shut up about that, this is a 2014 forum haha. All new ball game anyway.

I am doing a mirror upgrade on my new body style (1500 regular 2 dr. cab) 2014 Sierra. I have spent hours on the internet looking for information on removing the inner door panels. This is THE only place that has experenced pros that know how to do it. I have had panels out of many older GM trucks but as you know this is a whole new door. So far I have removed the trim panel that covers the switch assembly. Also the two screws in the door handle recess and two screws on the bottom edge. I cannot go any further. The panel that covers the mirror bolts no longer is a triangular one. It is now all one peice from the bottom of the window up. I need to completely remove the entire door panel to be able access everything and run wires into the cab. Thanks in advance for any help anyone has time to give me.

      LLumar, 3M and Solargard have in the industry as far back as the genesis of window film mid-1960's). Solargard is the younger of the three and all others came to play in the last 20 or so years. I've had all three on my vehicles over the years and my current is 3M Crystalline on my Jeep since 2015. It still has stable color, scratch coat is holding strong and impeccable adhesive clarity. Never been garaged. My choice toady would be 3M or LLumar.

      Hook up with Glassy Business and get all the ins and outs of pro vs DIY with window film. That company goes back way before my retirement in 2015. I want to believe they are/were a Vista Film dealer and I cannot remember the owner's name. Peace out.

      Once more thank you, you are the best I been looking at the specs for the products you mention and info into tinting a window. I recently did wrap my wife's car and it turn out really nice, for what I have been seeing tinting a window is similar and I am tempted to do it myself. With that said I can't find any place to buy the products you mention, I found quite a few films in Amazon but they seem sketchy. There is other web sites selling films but the ones you mention I can’t locate, anyhow is there any place where I can buy this products?

I've compiled a list of tints based on manufacturer provided technical data & looking for insights into long term ownership with respect to scratch resistance, colour fade, impact on driver visibility, etc. Basically, I'm looking to narrow down the choice of products but different installers recommend different product lines. 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 35 for Front Side Windows 3M Ceramic IR Series IR 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Retro IRP 35 Nano-ceramic Black Armor Elite Nano Ceramic Series E38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S38 for Front Side Windows Black Armor Select Ceramic Series S20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP35 for Front Side Windows Llumar MEP Ceramic CNP20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Fusion NX 38 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows Ultragard Fusion NX 27 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR40 for Front Side Windows Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Ultragard Genesis IR ultra ceramic nano IR33 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Solargard VTX Pro Premium Ceramic Window Film 35 for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR40 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 30 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CIR (CeramicIR) CIR 20 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP45 Black for Front Side Windows SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP25 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek CXP (CarbonXP) CXP 35 Black for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 35 ceramic for Front Side Windows SunTek Evolve 20 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window SunTek Evolve 30 ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-35 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S5-20 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S5-30 Nano Carbon Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S7-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S7-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-35 for Front Side Windows Rayno Phantom S9-20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window Rayno Phantom S9-30 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Carbon 28 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Carbon 20 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension IRP 40 Nano-Ceramic for Front Side Windows ASWF Dimension IRP 25 Nano-Ceramic for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Excel IRP 35 for Front Side Windows ASWF Excel IRP 25 for Rear Side Windows & Rear Window ASWF Dimension X DX40 for All Windows

      Forgot to mention; if your house is under HOA, you may have to check in with them. Some, eh hem, many seemingly shy away from having a reflective look to the glass. A dual reflective with a visible light transmission of 35% (ex: NV35) would likely be more palatable to HOA, but not so happy for the owner. Your position to take with them is: The higher the reflectivity of a film product, the better when dealing with desert heat. There exists a necessary (physics) compromise in every window film transaction. Can't please all parties. Glad I could help educate.

      Thank you very much Tinguy1980, I was just about to mess it up. I appreciate your insight! I would have never guessed that the products I was thinking about "run counterintuitive to the use of the product" for the excessive heat. Frankly it does get so hot in that room that at this point I am less about how it looks and more about performance, during summer the AC never stops running in that room, electricity prices here in Las Vegas is up there hence I am trying to invest in ways to cool that room down. Once more thank you for your help I do appreciate it.

      Personally knowing what it's like in Vegas when it's hot, I would stir clear of any film TSER performance value less than 60% or a solar heat gain value greater than 40%. Prestige does not fit this and would be a big waste of good money. Huper Optiks' ceramic products have high solar energy absorption rates, so in hot environments these kind high absorptive films run counterintuitive to the use of the product while using air conditioning to cooling the interior. High absorption on the inside pane, where most films are applied will radiate that absorbed heat toward the room. Outside breezes across the exterior surface of the window will not be as effective in cooling down the interior than say a low absorptive film, high solar reflection film product. In this case, low absorptive/high solar reflection products should be a go-to such as: 3M's Night Vision15 or NV25, Vista Film's Dual Reflective18 or DR 28, LLumar's DR15 or DR25 (which closely matches 3M NV), or Madico's Optivision in and around the same number assignment. The numbers assigned to films represent the visible light transmission of the product. When a dealer comes out to assess and likely have and leave samples, use the samples as sunglasses by wrapping over your eyes a viewing out and in the room. This gives you a more precise idea of what the film will look like once applied. A small sample placed on the glass will always appear darker than having the entire panel tinted. Good luck.
