I have a little bit of a problem with my driverside door. It will open no problem from the outside, but from the inside it will not open at all. When I pull on the handle, I can hear something moving by where the latch is at, but no action. Right now I have to roll down the window and open it from the outside handle when I want to get out, which is already getting kinda old. What would I need to do to fix this myself? I'm pretty sure I would have to pull the panel off on the inside but what should I expect to have to do to fix it? Thanks!!

1997 Chevy Silverado door won't open from the inside?

The inside handles have a weak point in the handle and over time begin to bend out meaning you do not enough leverage to pull the rod.
I have a 1996 and have replaced the handle 5 times.
Purchase one @ a chevy dealer the correct interior color....about $40.
After you remove the interior trim panel, you need to drill out a set rivet. The handle assembly will slide rearward and come out. You could use a small lag screw to set the new handle, but I recommend riveting it.
