how to repair your own lock cylinder on the Chevy Aveo. all you need are a couple of new bolts.

[@sean2637]

Thanks for the video. I just got an Aveo last June and have been dealing with going through the passenger side until now. I was fortunate to have the original screw fall out as I was removing the panel.

[@bent8106]

Out of the blue an elderly man down the street had it happen to him. He asked me about it - I looked and found your video - lock fixed. Thanks 7 years after the fact. Hope you are doing well!

[@MattShaughnessy6]

Very cool!

[@pfarrar0923]

Thanks for the video! My sons 2005 Aveo driver side lock fell in door panel today. Plan on trying fix it. Hopefully I find originally screw when taking the door panel off.

[@sethwoodruff3494]

Wow, thank you for making this video. I know it must have been difficult to do the work while holding the camera in such a way that we could see. I don't know what I would do if it weren't for people like you adding to the tree of knowledge. Stay blessed!

[@claricec2291]

Thank you! My Pontiac G-3 just did this. Kinda disconcerting to go stick your key in and the lock is gone, lol. Looks like the hardest thing is going to take off the door panel. Imma go try this now. Might end up frustrated and sending it of to the mechanic's anyway

[@DiznyOrdiz]

My driver side detached years ago and I've just been using my passenger door since. Today that one fell in. Thanks for showing how easy it is to get at.

[@MattShaughnessy6]

You are welcome!

[@hollykauitzsch3095]

My 2007 Aveo5 passenger side lock fell in last month 5/2018, I guess it lasted pretty long! I'm going to try your method this weekend. I felt hopeless until your video! Thank you!

[@bradleyevansthompson4131]

Great vid --- thanks. This problem just happened to my 2006 Aveo. I now have the confidence to tackle this problem myself..!!

[@jimmyperullo947]

Thanks for the video! Good to know I'm not the only one who this has happened to. I thought someone had gotten desperate enough to try breaking into my cheapo 2004 Aveo!

[@jaimeskiebel]

Just happened to me a few days ago. Thanks for the video!

[@kiteboyrus]

My lock cylinder did the exact thing just yesterday, thanks for the video.

[@Boris_rcp]

You're a genius!!, you saved my Chevy Aveo, my wallet and my life!! thank you very much!!!!

Thanks Boris! comments like these is why I keep doing what I do! don't forget to subscribe!

[@hollykauitzsch3095]

Thank you, helped me get the confidence to attempt the process!

[@billbustle4110]

The easiest way to get that crank handle clip off is the slide a shop towel behind the handle and it grabs that clip and pulled it right out in a matter of seconds

[@jaimeskiebel]

Also, there is a tool (you can get one of them at most auto parts stores, and Amazon, etc. for ~ $7) that is specifically made to remove and reinstall the U-clips on manual door cranks. It makes removing and reinstalling the clip so much easier - like 2 seconds! I'm and old guy and have worked on a lot of cars back when manual window cranks were in everything and electric windows were rarely seen. Most home mechanics had one of these tools. I remember seeing this tool the first time in my dad's tool box when I was a kid. I've also used the shop towel method many times when I haven't had my tools.

[@babysweet232003]

Thanks for the Video. My mom’s car handle broke last week and am changing it myself. Same model car. Appreciate your time for making this video! #Excellentwork

[@gokuz2108]

What size of bolt is used inside the door panel for the lock cylinder?

[@Afartan]

I needed this!

[@joannothing]

Anyone else is watching this video because their mom/wife/girlfriend broke the lock? Lol. Thanks a lot sir, you saved my wallet.

[@WisdomInExperience]

Thanks so much for this amazing video. I am facing same issue.

[@petersabla2091]

Thanks for the video, it really works and with electrically pulling the window it's easier

[@garretthall3529]

Thanks dude, worked perfectly for me just like you showed.

[@MattShaughnessy6]

glad I could be of help.........check me out on www.patreon.com/Matthewyourfriendlyneighborhoodtechnician

[@Bicycleboy13]

Thank you. My passenger side door did this. I need to fix it before the driver side goes and I’m not able to get into the car. I was following with you until the very last where you said we just need to install a new bolt… Were you able to find the old one down in the door? If not, it could be hell trying to figure out what bolt that is And purchase one and figure out where it goes

[@j.a.1785]

Happened on my girlfriend's Aveo, thanks for the help!!!

[@Kukuriku23]

I finish job...thank you for video.

You're welcome

[@jehovarodriguez9933]

Hello, my chevrolet aveo 2005, doesn't open from inside, so I quite all stuff from door to see what happens and I realize that the problem is the thing that closes the door. How can I repair it? For more especific, it's the metal that is out of the door, down on left. When you close the door, it keeps the door closed until I open again. (In my case I have to get down the glass and open for outside) I hope you understand me, I don't speak english very well... Greeting for Venezuela. Btw, where you realize those work? Any place around Houston, TX? Thanks

[@GGsInterests]

BOLTs, what do they look like, size, shape etc.

[@silviupalea333]

Hello. Great video. I have a problem with my driver's door. It doesn't open automatically from the remote control. That black thing doesn't jump out like the other doors. It is stucked. I only have this problem in the winter. Can it be disassembled and greased in some way? Thanks

[@victorgerhardt1504]

Does the lock lock in place?

[@zackallen7781]

Whats the size of the bolt that needs to be replaced?

[@jefferymayhann312]

Great video!... but did anyone else see the smudge on the bottom of the plastic inner door handle at 10:14 that looked just like a man's face? I mean it looks JUST like a man's face... kind of weird and cool.

[@MattShaughnessy6]

OH MY GAWD YOU ARE RIGHT HOW COOL!!!

[@MattShaughnessy6]

could it be Jesus?

[@MrChacedj]

If you look below his hand at the same time mark there looks like a head there too. WTF

[@purpledoge4466]

What size bolt does it take?

[@aaronhefner1473]

I'm having a difficult time getting the door handle latch (interior) properly fitted after trying to reinstall the door panel. There are two holes for the right side of the handle to go into, but you can't get them in once you've pulled the handle back through the door panel. Any advice?

[@kimmcamp]

I'm having the same problem

[@tabithastone3390]

Hi I have to do this but my Aveo has a few differences. Windows are power and my lock has a key that locks and unlocks and sets alarm so when I roll down windows doors lock been locked into car for ten mins. Just want to make sure watching this and doing it will be the same thanks

[@MattShaughnessy6]

no there will be a few differences. emial me if you have questions or need a walk [e-mail]

[@paulstanphill]

What size/thread of bolt do you use to keep this from falling out again?

[@MattShaughnessy6]

8-10 mil

[@jonathanschiffner7716]

Do you glue the white plastic sheet back on? If yes, what glue would you recommend to use?

[@MattShaughnessy6]

it should just stick right back in place. sometimes it wont you can find the proper glue at an auto parts store.

[@sandrawilliams8317]

Can you show how to repair sunroof motor?

[@masudnorat]

I have an issue with my Aveo where the remote does not unlock the doors, but it does disable the alarm. Manually if I insert the key into the lock cylinder and open the door, it does not unlock the drivers side door, therefore none of the doors open. So I have to open manually unlock the passenger side door and then hop over to the drivers side. And when exiting the car I have to hop over as well to exit through the passenger side and manually lock that door

[@64impalaSSRealMechanic315]

Great video my friend. I have a questions where can i find that little bolt ? Do you know size and spec of the little bolt?

[@MattShaughnessy6]

Its a 10 mm grade 8 bolt

[@MattShaughnessy6]

Autoparts store should have it over the counter.

[@brettmorgan1188]

What is that slot below where the power mirror control (for the passenger side)?

[@MattShaughnessy6]

Email me a picture please. [e-mail]

[@brettmorgan1188]

Look at video at 1:43 and it is the credit card sized slot looking thing in the bottom left of the screen.

[@MattShaughnessy6]

oh yeah thats where you insert your credit card so you can pay to drive the car LOL.....BAD JOKE :). on some models that is where you have power mirror and accessory and can put things like business cards or a map or other things in there.

[@duck01soup]

I have electric windows will that make the removal any easier?

[@MattShaughnessy6]

do not think so. you will have to remove the switch though instead

[@juanguadarrama8093]

Where did you bought the lock cylinder

[@davidsharp3110]

Does anyone know what kind of bolt is used?

[@nathancox7509]

There should be a bolt holding the lock in, if not it is the same size as the other bolt holding down the other side of the door handle

[@MattShaughnessy6]

the bolt is known for coming out or breaking

[@adrydungscraper]

This is a stupid problem lol, I have keyless entry. haven't touched the damn lock and it fell into the door....i just used the bolt that fell out.......

[@tabithastone3390]

Was doing it same as in video I have keyless entry and power windows?
