well, considering people here arent having luck with the dealers "replacing the mirror" either.. I figure I will just take a stab at this myself. Does anyone have any information on the "Mirror Face Replacement in SI". Does the housing have to be disassembled, or does the mirror just pull out with a a suction cup? The metal spring method sounds promising.

Can you help me remove my broken Driver's side mirror glass? I have the replacement but can't remove the old one. From a past post of yours it sounds like the new one will pop in but I'm stumped on the removal.

I'm new to forum and hate to open up with a request for help but I've been after help on this for awhile.



Thanks,

 

Well... My driver side mirror had a small, annoying flutter... so while it was in the service department yesterday, I mentioned it...they took it apart, said they checked the screws as per the service bulletin...they were already tight...so there was nothing to do to fix it...

Now, this 'service' has made the mirror shake so bad above 55mph, that it is hardly usable...I wish I would have kept my mouth shut!
Sounds like I get to waste another day in the service department.

My wife backed out of the garage and cracked just the actual mirror on the driver's side, the houseing is still fine and has no damage.

My question is. Can you just pull the mirror off with by prying it with a screw driver or do i have to take the whole housing appart

I want to just by the glass from the dealer which is apparently $380 dollars, either way, they want to charge me an extra $135 to install it. So i was hoping i could save the buck 35 and and do it my self

 

DON'T pay for install. Infact don't buy it at dealer. You can find mirror glass onlyalot on e-bay. To remove; press the palm of your hand against mirror and press in and up. It is clipped in and the clips release as you push up. I did this PLUS used a wide tipped flat screwdriver under the bottom edge.( hand presses in and screw driverhelped lift it.) You can see how to unhook/remove it after the clips release. To reinstall; align the clips and press in w/ hand and down with wide blade. It will click in.

 

Here's an exam0ple of what's on e-bay. Not even $380 for whole mirror assembly

Here's how to replace just the glass:
Position the mirror face outward on an angle with the mirror housing.[/ol]
Remove the mirror face as follows: Position the hand in the center of the mirror face. Apply light pressure. Push upward releasing the motor retainers from the mirror back. Holding the mirror face, disconnect the electrical connectors from the back of the mirror.[/ol]

 

Kinda what I said...Thanks to your help last time Zx.

But actual attempt revealed the need to lift with something else.

 

Thanks for the info.... I popped the mirror off of the 4 tabs, but..... There appears to be a center ball that was left in the mirror when taken off and appears to have broken from the motor does this mean i should get a whole mirror assembly including the mirror, or can i just get the mirror alone and just not connect the center piece but still connect to the 4 plastic pins from the motor asembly

 

I'm new to forum and hate to open up with a request for help, I have a 2007 suburban and I would like to replace my mirrors for the power folding. I have the new mirrors what alse is needed.
thanks.
